HelperMate 2.3.7 is now available on Google Play and the App Store. This update makes one thing clear for helpers: telling us which agency placed you, and agreeing to be counted in that agency's summary, are two different choices.

A Separate Checkbox for Agency Summaries

Helpers can tell HelperMate which employment agency placed them. In 2.3.7, a separate checkbox now asks whether your placement may be counted in that agency's anonymous summary — for example, how long helpers placed by that agency stay with their families.

  • Choosing an agency on its own no longer counts as agreeing. Only the checkbox does.
  • Only totals across many households are counted — never your name, notes or tasks. The agency never receives your records or your employer's.
  • A summary for an agency is shown only once at least 10 households count for that agency.
  • Leaving the box unticked changes nothing about how the app works for you.

Turn It Off Any Time

You can turn this off at any time in Menu → Edit profile, even if your agency is no longer listed. If you change your agency, the tick is cleared.

Clearer Wording

  • The agency question no longer mentions agency statistics; it now simply notes that your employer can see the agency you chose.
  • Khmer and Lao screens now show the agency question in their own language.
  • The new consent text is available in every app language, shown together with English while the translations are reviewed.

You can read the details in Section 13 of our Privacy Policy.
