Consent manifesto

Consent is not a legal footer. It is the product.

1. Invite → accept → share

No membership row in active status means no location visibility. Ever.

2. Mutual transparency

Every member can see who is in the circle and whether each person is sharing. There is no invisible observer role for adults.

3. One-tap exit

Pause sharing or leave the circle. Future pings stop immediately.

4. Caregiver roles, not spyware

Parents coordinating kids and caregivers supporting elders are first-class — still with visible membership and platform policy compliance.

5. Why this makes more money

Trust survives App Store review, EU policy, and press. Household plans retain longer when both partners feel safe, not surveilled. Covert tools get banned; Orbit compounds.
