7. Safety and Privacy

As an MFi-certified accessory, the Hendari Air Tracker Tag prioritizes your privacy and security:

• End-to-End Encryption: All location data transmitted through the Find My network is encrypted, ensuring only you can view your item's location.
• Anonymity: Cryptographic mechanisms isolate location data from user identity, meaning neither Apple nor Hendari can associate locations with individuals.
• Anti-Tracking Alerts: Your iOS device will notify you if an unknown Air Tracker Tag is detected moving with you over time, helping to prevent unwanted tracking.

• No Sound from Tracker: Verify the tracker is within Bluetooth range. Check the battery level in the Find My app.
• Location Not Updating: Ensure your iOS device has an active internet connection. Location updates rely on nearby Apple devices in the Find My network.
• False 'Left Behind' Alerts: Adjust the geofence radius in the Find My app settings for your safe zones (e.g., home, work).
• Sharing Not Working: Ensure all participants have iOS 17, iPadOS 17, or macOS 14 or later installed.
