Safety & Trust

Your child never talks to raw AI.

Every AI interaction on Clouds Children passes through a four-layer protection system we designed, operate, and review. Your child gets learning. Not unpredictable output.

01 Kid input

Input filter

Before anything reaches the AI, we screen what goes in. Attempts to steer conversations toward harmful, off-topic, or age-inappropriate content are blocked at entry.

Blocked

Personal data exposure, manipulation attempts, off-curriculum steering

Example

A child types a prompt for a story. Anything outside safe creative parameters is replaced with a neutral alternative before the AI ever sees it.

02 Filter to AI

Structured prompt

Our system never sends a raw child request to the AI. It wraps input inside educator-authored templates — constrained frames that dictate tone, length, subject, and safety boundaries.

Blocked

Free-form chatbot access, open-ended prompt injection, unguided generation

Example

A story request becomes a template call: genre, emotional tone, age band, and educational goal are all set by us — not improvised by the AI.

03 AI to output filter

Output filter

Every AI response is intercepted before delivery. It is scored against content, age-fit, educational value, and safety criteria. Responses that fail any check are discarded and regenerated.

Blocked

Violence, sexual content, adult themes, inaccurate facts, manipulative language

Example

An AI-generated paragraph containing an ambiguous moral scenario is flagged, withheld from the child, and a clean version is requested automatically.

04 Output to parent

Parent visibility

Nothing disappears. Every interaction is logged in your parent dashboard. You can read transcripts, see what your child created, review the AI output, and adjust filters at any time.

Blocked

Hidden conversations, opaque AI behavior, unreviewed content

Example

You open the dashboard Monday morning and read exactly what stories your child explored over the weekend — AI responses shown alongside.

Legal baseline, not a marketing checkbox

We built the platform around these protections. They are not retrofitted.

COPPA-aligned

Designed for COPPA principles: no data collected from children under 13 without parental consent.

GDPR

Data minimisation, right to deletion, and lawful basis for every data point we hold.

EU hosting

All data stored on EU-based infrastructure. No transatlantic transfers of child data.

No ads

Zero advertising, zero ad networks, zero ad tracking. Your child's attention is not a product.

No trackers

No third-party analytics pixels or behavioural tracking tools in the child experience.

No data sale

We do not sell, licence, or share child data with any third party, for any commercial purpose, ever.

Human review

Automated filters are necessary. They are not sufficient. Humans review content at every stage.

When human review is triggered

  • Any content that scores near the threshold of an automated filter
  • Content flagged by a parent or educator through the dashboard
  • All new story templates before they enter production
  • Random weekly sample audits across active content

What reviewers see

  • The full interaction transcript — input, template used, and AI output
  • The automated filter scores for each safety dimension
  • No child name or account identity — reviewers work on anonymised content

Retention

Interaction logs are retained for 90 days by default. Parents can request deletion at any time from the dashboard. Anonymised aggregated data used to improve filters carries no personal identifiers.

Parent controls

You set the boundaries. We enforce them technically, not just by policy.

Full transcript access

Every story, game interaction, and AI-generated response is readable in your dashboard. No summaries that hide the detail.

Time limits

Set daily or weekly session limits per child. The app surfaces gentle stop cues before hard cut-offs — no abrupt endings.

Content filters

Adjust which content categories are available: story themes, subject areas, emotional intensity. Changes apply immediately.

Account deletion

Delete your child account and all associated data from the dashboard at any time, with no friction and no waiting period.

We protect and we educate. Families deserve both.

We are in active development. We invite security researchers, educators, clinicians, and parents to audit what we build and tell us where it falls short. Structured feedback reaches our safety team within 48 hours.
