SafeCheck Home is a consumer product safety app for families: search injury estimates based on CPSC NEISS data by product category, and run room-by-room safety checklists. According to our FAQ, core features are free to download and use. The app is built on public government injury data and designed to collect very little personal information — details below and in our Privacy Policy. For educational safety information only; not medical advice.
Is SafeCheck Home Free?
Yes. As stated in our FAQ: SafeCheck Home is free to download and use. Core features including product search, safety checklists, and age-tailored alerts are available at no cost.
You can download SafeCheck Home from the App Store or visit the homepage. We do not publish subscription pricing or make claims beyond what the FAQ states — if that changes, this page and the FAQ will be updated together.
In plain terms
The features described in our guides — product category search, room-by-room checklists, and family member profiles — are all part of the free core.
What Data Powers the App?
SafeCheck Home is built on publicly available injury estimates from the CPSC's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) — a federal database that has tracked emergency-department-treated injuries since the 1970s.
These estimates describe injuries associated with products, not proof that a product caused an injury. Understanding that distinction is the most important thing to know when reading any injury number. For a plain-English walkthrough, see What Is NEISS? How to Read CPSC Product Injury Numbers.
SafeCheck Home helps families explore injury patterns across product categories — it is not a recall scanner, and it does not claim to predict whether a specific product is safe for your situation.
What We Collect — and What We Don't
SafeCheck Home is designed to collect very little. Here is the full picture, from our Privacy Policy:
What we collect
- Safety checklist items you create
- Family member ages you set (for age-tailored alerts)
- Feedback and suggestions you submit
- Anonymous usage and crash statistics
- A randomly generated device identifier (UUID) — used to associate and delete your data
What we do NOT collect
- Name, email, or phone number
- Precise location
- Photos or voice recordings
- Device advertising identifier (IDFA)
- Contacts, calendar, or other apps' data
- Payment or financial information
No third-party advertising. We do not display ads, and we do not sell, rent, or share personal data for advertising purposes.
Delete My Data. You can delete your checklist data and settings at any time via the "Delete My Data" feature in the App's Settings. For full details on data retention, third-party services (CPSC public data queries, Cloudflare, Railway), and your rights, read the complete Privacy Policy.
Who Is SafeCheck Home For?
SafeCheck Home is designed for two overlapping groups:
- Parents and caregivers of young children — childproofing, nursery products, mealtimes, outings, and age-tailored safety alerts. See our Childproofing Checklist and Crib Safety Checklist for examples.
- Families supporting older adults — fall prevention, bathroom safety, and walking-surface hazards. See our Fall Prevention at Home and Bathroom Safety for Seniors guides.
SafeCheck Home is a consumer safety information tool. It is not a clinical instrument and is not intended to replace advice from a healthcare provider.
How SafeCheck Home Fits In
If you have made it this far, the short version: the core app is free, the data is public, the collection is minimal, and you can delete your data at any time.
You can join the beta from the SafeCheck Home homepage. Questions about privacy? Read the full Privacy Policy or contact us at the email listed there.
