I'm the founder of Life360 which is the biggest player in this space for families (over 25 million active users, 100m+ downloads and over 80m ARR). What we have found is that the average customer doesn't really understand privacy.

Thanks and noted.. Have you seen the Privacy Center in our app? This was meant as the area to get plain English explanations on how things work along with various opt-outs. It is still a bit more legalese-ish than I would like but the inten

Thanks - much appreciated. What I primarily believe in is being open and honest with our users, and avoiding corporate speak whenever possible. Privacy means different things to different people and I probably am more open than he average p

See comment below for more details, but we have driving services powered by Allstate (Arity a subsidiary to be specific). This is not a buyer/seller relationship and they are heavily restricted with what they can do. There is no risk o

Yes, there are certain portions of data we sell, but not the type that would/could be used for insurance. There are a ton of legal/contractual restrictions based on each partner as well. See my other comments that go into more det

No, it is not a lie. I'm happy to answer questions openly but please give me a chance before calling me a liar. Arity (an Allstate subsidiary) provides us tech that powers our crash detection service (think Onstar for your phone - we d

It is frustrating when people say this. We are super transparent and give way more control than other apps. And no, we don't sell your data to insurance companies (we do do sell data for things like real time speed monitoring for traff

Life360 CEO here - we are actually pairing up with teens to do some features that address this. 90%+ of families have no issues and use it in healthy ways. We are going to try to help that remaining 10% https://www.tiktok.com&#x2

Life360 cofounder & CEO here. Great integration! To address some other comments on the thread: 1) We don't sell your data to insurance companies 2) We are ultra-transparent on how we handle your data and give far more control than

Hi All, Life360's CEO here. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has about this patent case or trolls in general. I firmly believe if we as a community collectively stand up to trolls and never settle this problem can go away

Startups can pool together to fight these guys. My company, Life360 got sued after raising $50m. They thought this meant we had money to write checks from, but instead we decided to use it to fight. We're basically being sued for all

I think it is being downvoted because it doesn't address the real content here. We are being sued for having markers on a map. Who cares if the company is operating or not?

I don't think amount raised has anything to do with it. I'd say you are a patent troll anytime you are using a bullshit patent to extort a third party. The rub is what constitutes a bullshit patent, but "sending messages thr

What sort of language would you suggest?

Yea, it was childish, but you know what...it felt good. The whole thing is such a broken mess that giving them the standard prim and proper legal response only helps perpetuate a broken system. Also, now they are going right to suing us ins

Hi guys, Life360's CEO here. Thanks for the help. As a bit more color, the company that is suing is seems to be failing and this is a desperate last gasp. Checkout http://www.agisinc.com/ As Steve mentioned, we just r

The advice people are giving you is way too complex. Here is the simple answer: Don't worry about taxes in this case. 1) An 83b is irrelevant for this problem (you aren't vesting over time, thus there is no chance of a large increase in the
