Plain-English summary
KidsHalo exists to help parents keep kids safer online. We collect only what we need to do that job, we never sell your data, we never run ads, and you can delete everything from your account at any time.
What we collect
- Account: your name, email, and any sign-in identifier from Google.
- Family configuration: children's first names, ages (optional), rules and filters you set.
- From a paired child device (Android agent): app usage events (start/stop, duration), installed app catalog, foreground app, web/domain access events, device heartbeat (battery, OS version), GPS pings, and text snippets the agent submits for AI safety scanning.
- Generated by us: AI alert summaries, audit log of changes you make, family chat messages.
What we don't collect
- Full message bodies — only the redacted snippet the agent submits for scanning.
- Photos, videos, or microphone content.
- Keystrokes outside the specific scan contexts you enable.
- Anything from devices that haven't been paired with a code by a parent.
How we use it
To run the service: render your dashboard, enforce rules on the paired device, generate AI safety alerts, and notify you. We process scan inputs through Lovable AI Gateway with structured outputs. We do not use your family's data to train models.
Retention
Usage and location history are retained for 30 days by default. Alerts are retained until you dismiss them. You can request full deletion from Settings or by emailing us — we delete within 30 days.
Sharing
We share data only with infrastructure providers (database, AI gateway, push notifications) under contract. We never sell or rent data. We respond to valid legal requests only after notifying the account owner where legally permitted.
Children & disclosure
KidsHalo is a parental tool — parents enable it. The Android companion app must show a clear notice on the child's device that monitoring is active, in plain language a child can understand. We recommend you talk to your kids about it.
Your rights
You can export your data, correct it, or delete your account at any time. EU/UK residents have full GDPR rights; California residents have full CCPA rights.
