Before a request
Another family sees an approximate area, rounded distance, time and free seats. The exact meeting point is hidden.
Your address stays at home.
OnArriveBien helps families at the same school find each other without publishing exact addresses or opening their conversations to the school.
An area, never a house
Your address is used to calculate nearby journeys. Other families see a rounded distance and, on the map, an area around the starting point whose centre is deliberately shifted.
The default radius is 500 metres. You can choose a larger one in your account settings.
Who can see your information?
| Information | Other families | School |
|---|---|---|
| Exact address | No. Published journeys show an approximate area. | No. |
| Journeys and requests | Times, available seats and starting area. | Activity areas around the school, without names or addresses. |
| Messages | Only the family you are talking to. | No. |

You choose what to share
What others can see changes with the journey and the decisions families make together.
After acceptance
Accepted participants can see the exact meeting point to arrange the journey. Other families still see only an approximate area.

If an exchange is a problem
You can block the other account or report a message. Moderation access needed to handle a report is logged.
Frequently asked questions
Control your privacy
Does my school know my address?
No. It sees activity areas around the school, without any family's exact address.
Can I make the area less precise?
Yes. You can increase the privacy radius used for your journeys in account settings.
Who can see my phone number?
The person you are talking to sees it only if you use the contact-sharing action in that conversation.
Can I stop a conversation?
Yes. Blocking prevents new messages, and you can still report a safety concern to moderators.
