Protecting children is our highest priority:

- Minimal Data Collection: We only collect the child's first name - no surnames, ages, addresses, or school information.
- PII Redaction: Our AI automatically redacts any personal information (addresses, school names, etc.) that children may mention during calls.
- Rapid Deletion: Voice recordings are deleted within 7 days; transcripts within 24 hours.
- No Tracking: We do not use cookies or tracking technologies that could identify children.
- No Marketing to Children: We never market directly to children or share their data with advertisers.
