Travel with people who know where you are. Here is exactly how location, safety, and privacy work on Pas Perdu — plainly, because trust built on fine print isn't trust.
From check-in to check-out, you and your guide both share your location with Pas Perdu — a safety measure for each of you, and yes, a tracking one; both are true. It begins when you both check in, ends when you check out, and is never on at any other time.
Every booking runs through the platform for the same reason: someone we trust always knows who is where, with whom.
During an experience: Pas Perdu's own team — no one else. Nothing is public, nothing is sold, nothing feeds an advertising machine. Location lives inside the platform and stops with the session.
An opt-in companion for the journey itself — for solo travelers, and for the people at home who love them. Turn it on and your trusted circle — people you name — receive a private link (no account, no app) showing where you last checked in, and your itinerary if you choose to share it.
You choose a check-in rhythm — daily, twice a day, every two days — and before you travel you write your own instructions: who to call, in what order, if I go quiet. We act on exactly what you wrote.
First, a gentle reminder to you — one tap says all is well. If the silence holds, Pas Perdu is alerted with your last known position and your own instructions, and we act on them. Your absence is noticed. That is the point.
No. Guests never install anything — everything works in the browser, on the phone already in your pocket. Our guides carry a Pas Perdu app so their location stays live in the background during your time together; you never have to.
Yes. Everything here is opt-in and stays yours: end a watch and sharing stops; revoke a circle link and it goes dark; check out and the session closes. Privacy is the default — awareness is a choice we make easy.
No. After each experience, guest and guide each leave a rating the other never sees — read only by the founder. It is a trust ledger, not a review site: it protects our guides and our travelers equally.
For American travelers abroad we'll point you, if you wish, to the U.S. State Department's STEP program — a way to let your government know you're traveling. Some want that; some prefer privacy. We advise, we never enroll you, and either choice is honored here.
