The process of incorporating a minor into a Life360 circle typically involves sending an invitation to their email address, which they must then accept to join. This standard method allows for verification and ensures the invited individual is aware of their participation in the location-sharing network. Circumventing this email verification step presents challenges due to Life360’s designed security protocols.
The reliance on email addresses for invitations and account creation provides a layer of security and control over who joins a particular circle. It ensures that individuals are actively agreeing to share their location information. Historically, this verification process has been a fundamental aspect of online platforms that deal with personal data and privacy, helping to mitigate unauthorized access and potential misuse of location data.
