What is number masking?

Number masking is a technique that replaces the personal phone numbers in communications with a temporary masked number.

How does this improve privacy?

It prevents third parties from accessing direct contact details, thus reducing the risk of harassment and ensuring user data security.

Can parents still contact me if I use number masking?

Yes, parents can contact your masked number, and you can respond without exposing your private number.

In today’s digitally interconnected world, privacy is paramount. For after school transport companies, safeguarding parent information while ensuring seamless communication about pick-up and drop-off schedules is essential.
