Monitoring an elderly parent from another city is legitimate when it comes from care, not control. The difference shows in the product you choose and how you use it.
Five principles
- Explicit consent. The elderly person installs and accepts — they do not endure it.
- Transparency. They know who watches and can see access history.
- Quiet mode on demand. They can disable non-critical observation.
- Data minimization. Collect only what peace of mind needs — no more.
- Servers in Europe. Data processed under GDPR, not opaque jurisdictions.
