Download Location Lockbox services today to be proactive about your personal safety. Create an event. Set your location. Pick a check-in time. Select your emergency contact. Go! Without worry. Location Lockbox adds a layer of safety and security to your whereabouts. It’s a discreet, easy-to-use app that gives you and your loved ones peace of mind about your safety and wellbeing. Create a custom event check-in whenever you want some extra security, like when you’re walking home late, going on a date, taking a trip or going somewhere new. During your scheduled event, Location Lockbox will automatically check in with you to see if you’re okay. If you indicate that you’re not okay, or if you don’t respond within 30 minutes of the check-in, your designated emergency contact will receive a text message with your last known location and the description of your event so they can take action and get help. Secure PINs ensures that only you can tell the app if you're okay or if you need assistance. Set two unique four-digit PINs that only you know: one for “I’m okay” and one for “I’m not okay” so that you’re always the one in control of your safety. If someone enters an incorrect PIN, an alert will be triggered and sent to your emergency contact. Location Lockbox lets you add an unlimited number of emergency contacts to your profile. And, you can select as many emergency contacts as you’d like for each check-in. Your contacts will only be notified by text message the first time they are added to your Location Lockbox profile. After that, they will only receive a text if you need assistance – either when you enter your “I’m not okay” PIN or you don’t check in at all. You and your emergency contacts’ information is strictly private and is kept safe and secure. “Every year, hundreds of thousands of people are reported missing with no indication as to where their families and friends should begin their search. If Location Lockbox helps a family find their loved one, our purpose has been fulfilled.” - Sheldon, creator of Location Lockbox Subscribe now for full access to all features within Location Lockbox.
