A few things
before Santa rolls.
Need a hand with your department’s setup?
Talk to us ↗Do families need to download an app?
No. Your public tracking page opens in a web browser, with no app or account needed for viewers.
Is it really free?
Yes. No payment method, no trial, nothing to cancel. If we ever offer paid options, we’ll tell you well before a season, and you’ll never be charged without agreeing first.
Who can read Letters to Santa?
Only your department’s administrators. Letters are never public. First names and neighborhoods are erased automatically after 60 days.
Are photos public?
Yes. Photos appear on your public tracking page, so your department is responsible for any consent your area requires.
How many people watched?
Your recap shows estimated viewers. They’re based on browser sessions, so they’re estimates, not a headcount.
Can we use this for emergency responses?
No. It’s a community engagement tool, not dispatch or AVL software.
