AegisProtect Limited is a Jamaican company, built by Jamaicans, for Jamaicans, whether yuh live a yaad or abroad. AegisProtect Personal Safety launches early 2027, and joining the waitlist is free.
I'm Andre McCarthy, the founder. I live abroad, and my sister lives in Jamaica. She's a criminal attorney, and she told me that even now, when she travels alone, there are times she feels frightened, with no easy way to reach anyone. In 2024 she asked me if I could build an app that did what Stay Alert had done, but for the realities of today. AegisProtect is my answer to her, and to every family that knows that worry.
Yes. AegisProtect Limited is registered in Jamaica as company number 134765, with its registered office in Runaway Bay, St. Ann. You can check that yourself with the Companies Office of Jamaica's company search.
No. Joining is free, and we never ask for card details to join. Waitlist members hear the price first, before we launch, and you only pay if you choose a plan when it opens.
Early 2027. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the day it goes live.
The people you trust are told straight away, by WhatsApp or text, and your main contact also gets a phone call. Responders get your name, your photo, your exact location and, if you've chosen to allow it, audio recorded from where you are. You don't have to unlock your phone or say a word.
Where we have a private security partner in your area, they respond. Everywhere else, it's the police. Who responds depends on where you are when you press, so we don't name our partners, and you never have to choose one.
Yes, on real phones. We raise real alerts on iPhones and Android phones and check every step: the alert itself, the location, the audio, the messages to family and what the responder sees.
It's built to get through on a weak signal, and it doesn't rely on one path. Your trusted contacts get WhatsApp first and a text if WhatsApp fails, and your main contact also gets a phone call. But AegisProtect does not replace 119. If you're in danger and can call, call 119.
It needs mobile data or Wi-Fi, but not a strong connection. If it can't connect, it keeps trying and tells you to call 119. If your phone is off or the battery is dead, it can't send an alert.
So whoever comes to help knows exactly who they're looking for. We check your ID once, then delete the photo of it. We keep your verified selfie so responders can recognise you.
We don't sell your information, and we never will. Your location goes to responders only during an active alert, and it's encrypted when it's sent and where we store it. Our privacy policy explains everything in full. Read the privacy policy.
Yes. That's why we built it. Family abroad join your Family Circle on their own phones, see where you are when you share it, and are told the moment you press, wherever they are in the world.
