An emergency contact who actually knows what happened.
In a serious situation, Corlo does not alert an anonymous service. It informs a person you chose yourself. That keeps help personal, fast, and understandable.
Why it matters who actually gets the alert
An anonymous emergency hotline starts by asking questions. A trusted person acts — they know where you live, who you are, and what to do. That is why Corlo never alerts strangers. The message goes to the people you chose yourself.
A trusted person
You decide who should be informed in an emergency.
Concrete context
Phone number, address, and a personal message can be included right away.
Clear responsibility
Your contact knows why the message arrived and what the next sensible step may be.
An emergency contact only helps if the information is clear.
Corlo makes it clear who gets notified, what they learn, and how that can help in a serious situation.
Add address and phone number directly in the app — no extra step required
Before sending, the server checks whether a check-in arrived in the last 15 minutes — to prevent false alarms
Free plan: one emergency contact; Family Mode: up to five — each receives the same clear message
Why the emergency contact is central.
No anonymous service in the alert path
The message goes only to a person you chose — not to an emergency hotline, not to Corlo.
Preparation creates clarity
Who should act and what they need is already defined. No guessing under stress.
How it stays understandable
A good emergency contact needs orientation. Corlo provides that orientation without making everyday use more complicated.
An emergency contact only helps if it is clear why they were informed and what they can do next.
This is the message your emergency contact will actually receive
Hi <Name of emergency contact>, <Name> has not checked into the Corlo app for more than 24 hours and has saved you as their emergency contact. In many cases everything is fine (dead battery, phone left at home, busy day). We still want to let you know, just in case. <Phone: … (if provided)> <Address: … (if provided)> <Personal message from the user (if provided)> What you can do: 1. Try to reach <Name> by phone. 2. If that does not work, stop by in person. 3. This email does not replace emergency services, the police, or any other professional help. In an acute emergency, please contact the appropriate local emergency number. This message was sent automatically. Please do not reply to this email — contact <Name> directly. Thank you for looking out. Corlo https://corlo.app
Before every alert email, the server runs one final check to see whether a check-in came in during the previous 15 minutes. This short safety delay prevents false alarms when someone is only a few minutes late.
