Your OMO watch

Your OMO watch is a watch that can call and text the people your parent has chosen.
Only your chosen contacts can call or text you and you can call or text them.

What your parent can see

  • Where your watch is. The watch works out where it is and sends that location to your parent's phone. They can see it on a map.

  • The texts you send and receive on the watch.

  • When you arrive at, or leave, places your parent has chosen, like home or school.

  • How many steps you take, and how much battery is left.

Only your parent or guardian (whoever set up your watch) and people they say yes to can see this.

When the watch is looking for where it is

When the watch is working out where it is, you will see a small blue dot at the top of the screen. It shows on the screen when the watch is looking, and on the lock screen too. That's the watch telling you: "I'm checking where I am."

What the watch does not do

  • It does not take photos or videos.

  • It does not listen to you or record what you say. (If you tap the microphone on the keyboard to say a message instead of typing it, your words are sent to Google so they can turn into text. Only do that if your parent is OK with it.)

  • It does not show adverts.

  • It does not share where you are with anyone except the parents paired with your watch. (The OMO team can only look when they are helping your parent fix a problem.)

If your family stops the OMO plan

If your parent cancels the OMO plan, your parent can no longer see where your watch is or read your texts in the app. Your watch can still call and text your chosen people, and the SOS button still works.

The SOS button

If you hold the SOS button for 5 seconds, the watch calls and texts the people your parent chose, to tell them you need help. It does not call the police or ambulance. If you are in danger, call 999, or ask an adult near you to.

Your name on the lock screen

If you activate the lock screen it will show your name and your colour. Anyone who picks up your watch can see them.

School and quiet times

Your parent can set quiet times, like school hours, when the watch shows a LOCKDOWN screen and you can only use it to tell the time until the mode finishes.

If something feels wrong

  • If someone you don't know texts or calls you, tell your parent.

  • If anything on the watch makes you feel unsafe or worried, tell a parent or another adult you trust, or ask them to contact us: hello@omo.technology.

Your choices

You can ask your parent to change who can call and text you, or to change the quiet times. If you want to know more about your information, ask your parent to read our Privacy Notice (omo.technology/privacy-policy) with you. They can also ask us to delete it.
