Parachute
Parachute gives travelers a digital copy of phone lists and other customized assistance information from their organization that can be saved on their phone and easily accessed during an emergency (even outside of coverage).
The Details
The Parachute platform features two tools built specifically to help prepare and react to emergencies.
For Preparing
Preparation is a combination of the right information and easy accessibility to it. Without either of those elements, a traveler is not prepared.
To solve this we built the Safe Traveler Wallet Card, a mobile technology that allows a user to save all the information they need in an emergency, right on their phone (no mobile app needed).
Schools can customize their wallet cards to contain the most important information for the traveler (phone numbers, emails, website, policy information, etc).
For Reacting
When an emergency happens, a quick and reliable reaction is critical. Every minute that passes is a moment that travelers can be in danger.
Parachute uses the most popular messaging platforms already used by travelers to ensure we get a quick response during an emergency.
Once a message is sent, travelers receive a notification through Whatsapp, sms text, and email with your message. Whichever notification they see first, they can respond within the message.
All the responses are then organized in the admins dashboard so you always know who's been accounted for.
GDPR Compliant Location Tracking
Respecting travelers privacy has always been at the core of our development philosophy. If travelers do not feel they can trust the platform or what third party providers do with their data, they simply will not use it.
That's why our geo-tag service is GDPR compliant because we always ask permission before sending a students location back to admins and we do not continually track them throughout their trip.
We only ever ask travelers to provide their location during the one brief moment we need them too.
