Define the area
Choose the location and supported radius in the sending flow.
GeoLock
Add a location condition to viewing.
Choose an approved area for supported images and files. GeoLock asks the recipient to satisfy the location check before viewing.
No phone number or email required for core Hat use.
The useful difference
A clearer way to handle sensitive work.
A viewing condition
Use location as an additional access condition for suitable content.
Plan for device support
Location permission, accuracy and client support affect the recipient’s experience.
How it works
Three deliberate steps.
Add supported content
Select the image or file in your Hat channel.
Set the approved area
Enable GeoLock and review the location and radius.
Explain the requirement
Tell the recipient where viewing is permitted and check that their device supports the flow.
Know the boundary
Choose controls with clear expectations.
GeoLock is an app/service access control, not a guarantee of physical presence. Device compromise, spoofing and poor positioning affect assurance. Location parameters are part of the workflow; do not assume that no location-related data reaches service components. Copies kept after viewing remain outside the lock.
