Okaou is a physical card with a QR code that links to a child’s secure online profile. If your child gets lost, someone can scan the code to quickly access contact details and help reunite you.

No. The child does not need a phone, a battery, or an app. Only the person helping needs to scan the QR code.

Only the information you choose to share is shown. This can include things like your child’s first name and the contact buttons to reach you.

Your phone number, address, and any other sensitive information are never shown publicly. You stay in full control of what appears on your child’s profile and can change it anytime from your Parent Portal.

Not completely. The person who scans the Okaou card needs an internet connection to open your child’s profile and contact you. However, your child does not need internet, a phone, or a battery — only the person helping them does.

Okaou works using a QR code that opens a secure page online, so without internet, that page can’t load.

No. Your phone number is never shown on the card or on your child’s profile.

When someone scans the Okaou card, calls and messages are routed through Okaou’s secure system, so your real number always stays private.

The subscription pays for the secure system that makes Okaou work. It runs the private call and message routing so strangers can contact you without ever seeing your real phone number.

It also securely stores call recordings and message logs in your Parent Portal, so you can review what happened if your child ever needed help.

On top of that, it keeps your child’s profile hosted, protected, and available 24/7. In short, the subscription is what keeps everything running safely in the background

No problem. You can simply deactivate the card or mark it as "Lost" from your Parent Portal so it can no longer be used.

Then you can link a new card to your child’s existing profile. Your child’s information and subscription stay the same — you’re just replacing the physical card.
