Hello Rolanrr!

No, they don’t. You can go into the Find My app, and view their location anytime, without them knowing.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

They will not receive a notification if you view their location, but they will receive notification if you use the geofence feature (that is, if you ask to be notified that their location has changed).
