Formed in December 2002, ChildLocate aims to become a leading provider of family security services utilizing mobile technology, initially in the UK followed by Germany, France and Spain.

After having successfully completed extensive user trials with Vodafone UK during the summer of 2003, Vodafone's approval was gained to launch the ChildLocate service on Vodafone's UK mobile network. In October 2003, agreement was signed which enabled the ChildLocate service to be offered also on the o2 and T-Mobile mobile networks. In February 2004 ChildLocate also became available on the Orange network.

ChildLocate has taken active part in the development of a Privacy Management Code of Practice issued by the UK Mobile Operators which sets the guidelines on how personal tracking services should be operated and how safety and privacy of mobile phone users is to be protected.
