Safeguarding Records

Incident report history, safeguarding logs, and auto-moderated chat logs to ensure a toxic-free ecosystem.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process your data strictly to fulfill educational, safety, and operational tasks:

To screen public and private interactions for safety, ensuring toxic-free and secure communities.

5. Digital Credentials

To provide shareable digital credentials and verified learning records that schools can trust.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR)

Explicit Parental Consent

We do not collect personal information from children under 13 without the explicit consent of their school institution, parent, or legal guardian.

Control & Review Rights

We support your right to delete your account and personal records at any time.

How to Request Account & Data Deletion:
