Where are My Buddy Gard servers located?
My Buddy Gard Servers are located in Sydney, Australia. All our customers data remains in Australia
How is the software & data protected from hackers?
Our software is protected by using secure SSL certificates on our websites and tracking platform to keep nosy perpetrators away from any of your data. On top of that we implemented 256bit encryption codes to our tracking devices to eliminate the possibility to bypass our systems and communicate with our trackers outside My Buddy Gard systems. Most other GPS tracking companies haven’t implemented that and knowing the correct commands will easily give perpetrators access to your tracking devices.

A GEO Fence is virtual border around a real location. This invisible perimeter can be just about any size, and any shape. A user draws a line or a circle around a desired area. As soon as the GPS device linked to this area either enters or exits the area, then you’ll be notified.
