If your watch cannot locate a public Wi-Fi hotspot or the Wi-Fi signal is weak, it will locate a GPS signal with a location accuracy between 10-300 feet. In GPS mode, while the accuracy is higher, it will result in faster battery drainage so the watch will rely heavily on Wi-Fi locating.
If a Wi-Fi or GPS signal is not available, the watch will locate the nearest cell tower signal and use the cellular tower location. The locating accuracy in this mode is between 500 feet to 20 miles depending on how far the cellular tower is from your TickTalk. TickTalk will almost always use Wi-Fi and GPS to track and will rarely use cellular towers. However, some of our customers who live in rural locations do rely on cellular towers as they do not have access to strong Wi-Fi or GPS signals.
As the use of technology continues to grow, so does the amount of data being collected about children. While there are many potential benefits to this data, there are also concerns about the potential long-term effects on children's futures. Recent studies have shed light on some of these potential effects, and it's important for parents to be aware of them. Here are some key findings:
Predictive analytics is a type of data analysis that uses algorithms to make predictions about future behavior. In the case of children, this can mean predicting academic success or career potential. However, studies have shown that relying too heavily on predictive analytics can actually limit opportunities for children, particularly those from marginalized communities.
Solution: Encourage your child to pursue their interests and passions, regardless of what data may predict about their future. Emphasize the importance of hard work, dedication, and perseverance.
Data collection is not always neutral, and biases can be perpetuated through the data that is collected. For example, facial recognition software has been found to be less accurate in identifying people of color, which could lead to further discrimination.
Solution: Advocate for greater transparency and accountability in data collection practices, and support efforts to reduce bias in algorithms and other technologies.
Data breaches can have serious consequences for children, particularly if their personal information is compromised. This can include identity theft, cyberbullying, and other forms of online harassment.
Solution: Teach your child the importance of online privacy and how to protect their personal information. Encourage them to use strong passwords and be cautious about what they share online.
The digital footprints that children create online can have lasting effects on their future opportunities, including employment and relationships.
Solution: Encourage your child to be mindful of their online presence and to think before they post. Help them understand that their actions online can have real-world consequences.
As data collection becomes more pervasive, it's important to consider the ethical implications of these practices. Children may not fully understand the implications of sharing their personal information, and it's up to adults to protect their rights and privacy.
Solution: Advocate for greater regulation and transparency in data collection practices, and support organizations that prioritize ethical considerations in technology development. Choose devices certified under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), like our kid’s smartwatches, that have been extensively audited by an FTC-approved Safe Harbor program to protect your child’s data.
