Why My Family ID is Essential For Your Family’s Safety
”One of the most amazing features is that there’s facial recognition. And there’s also a spot where you put the little kids’ fingerprints. [...] If somebody is taking your kid across the border, [authorities] already have all the information right there on the app that they can see.”
– Karen O’Bren Havourd
”I actually have a father with Alzheimer’s right now. This is the perfect application to store his fingerprints, recent photos, and facial recognition scans, which can then get out to the authorities, stores or places that that have CCTV. We can actually do a search through their systems to help us see if he wandered into a store.”
– Greg Fagan
