Release Notes

Secure Live Tracking and Historical Location Data for High-Risk Families

Glacier introduces its latest release of secure live tracking and historical location data, designed specifically for high-risk families. Unlike public tracking solutions, Glacier offers enhanced precision, encrypted tracking, and granular control over location data. Clients can manage how long data remains available and provide access to personal security teams, ensuring privacy, control, and safety. With the rising risks to high-net-worth families, this feature offers a safer alternative to traditional tools like Apple’s Find My, giving families peace of mind without compromising their privacy.

When it comes to family security, especially for high-risk individuals, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Families of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) or those with elevated public profiles often become targets for threats such as tracking, stalking, or kidnapping attempts. To meet these challenges, Glacier is excited to announce the launch of our new live tracking and historical location data solution—offering an unprecedented level of security, privacy, and control over your loved ones' whereabouts.

Our innovative tracking system goes beyond the offerings of mainstream solutions like Apple’s Find My. We understand that high-risk families need more than just convenience—they need privacy-first tracking with granular control over who can access their location data and for how long.

What Makes Glacier Location Tracking Different?

Glacier’s secure tracking system is designed to keep families safe without compromising their privacy. Here’s how our approach stands out:

Live Tracking with Precision Data Points

Track your family members in real-time with more detailed data points than mainstream trackers.

You get insights not just on "where" someone is, but also when they were there—useful in emergencies or for detailed movement logs.

Historical Location Data Control

Unlike other solutions that store location data indefinitely, Glacier allows clients to control how long location information remains accessible. You decide whether the data is retained —ensuring your family’s movements are not exposed unnecessarily over time.

Controlled Access for Security Teams

Families can grant selective access to their personal security teams or trusted individuals. This makes it easy to coordinate with professionals discreetly and ensures everyone has the information they need in high-pressure situations.

Completely Private Communication and Monitoring

All tracking and communication data are managed securely within the Glacier ecosystem. Nothing is shared with third parties, ensuring that sensitive location data remains protected from commercial use or hacking attempts.

The Rising Need for Enhanced Family Tracking Solutions

  • 66% of high-net-worth individuals report concerns about their families being targeted, whether through physical surveillance or digital tracking.
  • 80% of high-risk individuals rely on personal security services for family protection, but many of these systems still depend on public-facing tracking apps with limited privacy safeguards.
  • Public platforms are increasingly vulnerable to data breaches and misuse, meaning that traditional tracking solutions can put your family at unnecessary risk.

Glacier’s solution offers a discreet, private alternative, ensuring only those you trust have visibility into your children’s movements.

A New Era of Family Security

Glacier is setting a new standard for secure location tracking. Our platform isn’t just about knowing where your kids are—it’s about doing so discreetly, securely, and without compromises. For families with elevated risk profiles, Glacier provides the control and reassurance they need in an increasingly uncertain world. Mapping is rolling out to Glacier Guardian customers first throughout November and December of this year.
