Last updated: July 23, 2026

1. Introduction
Welcome to OKMOM ("we," "our," or "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the OKMOM mobile application (the "App"), our website at okmom.co (the "Site"), and all related services, features, content, and software (collectively, the "Services").
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must not access or use the Services.
These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Please read both documents carefully before using the Services.
For Parents and Legal Guardians: By creating an account and adding a child to the Services, you confirm that you are the legal parent or guardian of that child and that you accept these Terms on behalf of both yourself and the child.
2. Definitions
- "Parent" or "you" means the adult (18 years or older) who creates an OKMOM account and manages one or more Child profiles.
- "Child" means a minor under the age of 18 whose device is monitored through the Services by a Parent who is their legal guardian. A Child does not have an independent account or login credentials; the Parent creates and manages the Child as a profile within their Parent account.
- "Monitored Device" means a mobile device on which the OKMOM child companion app or device management profile is installed.
- "Parent Device" means the mobile device on which the Parent uses the OKMOM parent app.
- "Account" means a registered user account on the Services.
3. Eligibility
3.1. Parent Accounts
To create a Parent account, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction).
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
- Not be barred from using the Services under the laws of your country or the United States.
3.2. Child Profiles
- A Child profile may only be created by the Child's legal parent or guardian from within the Parent's account.
- A Child profile is not an independent account. Children do not have their own login credentials and cannot sign in to the Services on their own.
- By creating a Child profile, you represent and warrant that you are the legal parent or legal guardian of the child and have full legal authority to monitor their device and online activity.
- You may not monitor a child who is not your legal dependent.
- If you are a guardian (not a biological parent), you must have valid court-appointed guardianship documentation. We reserve the right to request such documentation for verification.
3.3. Monitoring Adults is Prohibited
The Services are designed exclusively for parents to monitor their own minor children. You may not use the Services to monitor:
- Adults (18 years or older).
- Children who are not your legal dependents.
- Employees, spouses, partners, or any other person without a parent-child legal relationship.
Any use of the Services to monitor adults or non-dependent individuals is a material breach of these Terms and may violate applicable surveillance, privacy, and wiretapping laws.
3.4. Consent of Monitored Children
Where required by applicable law, you must inform your child that their device is being monitored and, for children above a certain age (typically 14 or older, depending on jurisdiction), obtain their consent. You are solely responsible for complying with the consent requirements of your jurisdiction.
4. Description of Services

4.1. GPS Location Tracking

- Background Tracking: Continuous location monitoring even when the App is closed, with adaptive sampling that adjusts based on movement (stationary, walking, vehicle) to conserve battery.
- Live Location Refresh: Request an on-demand location update from your child's device.
- Battery & Connectivity Info: View your child's device battery level and charging status alongside location data.
4.2. Geofence Zones (Safe Places)
- Custom Zones: Define safe zones such as Home, School, Park, or custom locations with a minimum 100-meter radius.
- Enter/Exit Alerts: Receive push notifications when your child's device enters or exits a defined zone.
- Hysteresis Buffer: Intelligent notification control to prevent alert chattering at zone boundaries.
4.3. Task & Chore Management

4.6. Device Pairing
