About Us
ContactMyParent exists because child safety and parent privacy shouldn't be a trade-off. We're a small team of parents and engineers who got frustrated with every solution on the market — and decided to fix it properly.
Our niece was three years old. We were at one of Dubai's massive shopping malls — the kind with five floors, hundreds of stores, and thousands of people moving in every direction. One moment she was beside us. The next, she wasn't.
What followed were five of the most terrifying minutes any of us had ever lived through. The whole family split up instantly — spreading across floors, running in opposite directions, calling her name over the noise of the crowd. Shoppers stared. Security was flagged. Everyone was searching.
She was found near a fountain two floors down, calm as anything, watching the water. A kind woman had spotted her alone and stayed with her.
We were lucky. We knew it. And standing there with her back in our arms, hearts still hammering, the same thought kept surfacing: five minutes. In five minutes, she could have been anywhere.
That night, we went looking for something — a label, a tag, anything — that a stranger could have used to reach us the moment they found her. We found plenty of options. Every single one of them worked the same way: print your phone number on your child and hope the right person sees it.
That didn't sit right. Not the exposure. Not the idea that anyone in that crowd could have seen a direct line to us. There had to be a better way to connect a finder to a parent — without handing your personal details to every stranger in the building.
There wasn't one. So we built it.
Safety labels, ID bracelets, temporary tattoos, wristbands. The market is full of products designed to help reunite lost children with their parents.
Almost all of them work the same way: they print your phone number somewhere on your child — on their skin, their clothing, their bag.
Which means anyone can see it. The helpful stranger who finds your child. The not-so-helpful stranger who was looking. Anyone who glances at the label in a changing room, a pool, a school corridor.
We'd solved the child finding problem. But we'd created a different one.
We kept coming back to the same question: Why does the person who finds my child need to know my personal contact details?
They don't. They just need a way to reach me.
That's a solvable problem. The label could carry just a code — no phone number, no address, nothing personal. The contact information could live in a profile you control. You decide what the finder sees.
We built a platform to make that work. And it does.
Most child safety products are designed from one perspective: how does the finder reach the parent? ContactMyParent was designed from two: how does the finder reach the parent — and how does the parent stay protected while that happens?
Privacy controls were the answer. The QR code on the label holds only a unique ID — nothing personal. When scanned, it opens a secure contact page. You decide what the finder sees: your full contact details for a direct call, or just a message form if you'd prefer to stay private.
We tested it on our own children's things first. School uniforms, backpacks, lunchboxes. We watched people scan the label without knowing what to expect — and reach us in under 30 seconds, without an app, without an account, without confusion.
When it worked that simply, we knew it was ready.
We believe your contact information belongs to you — not to whoever happens to scan a label.
That belief is built into the architecture of our product: the label carries no personal information, and you decide exactly what finders can see.
A safety product that's too complicated for a stranger to use in a moment of stress isn't a safety product — it's a liability.
We designed for zero friction on the finder's side because that's when the stakes are highest.
Subscription models are the norm in this category. We think that's the wrong model for a safety product.
You buy once. The contact service is yours. No monthly fees. No expiry dates.
The label looks simple. The setup takes minutes.
But behind it is a contact system built to handle real-world conditions: old phones, bad signal, strangers who've never heard of us. Simple on the surface; solid underneath.
When you put one of our labels on your child's jacket, you're trusting us with something that matters more than most things in your life.
We don't take that lightly.
We will never sell your contact information. We will never share your details without your permission. We will never add a subscription fee to a product you've already paid for. We will maintain the contact service for the life of your labels.
If anything changes — if we're ever acquired, if our terms ever need to update — we will tell you clearly, in plain English, before it happens. You will always have the option to export your data and leave.
That's the deal. We think it's a fair one.
