Trust Center
We earn your trust as a feature. Here’s exactly what the cub is, how it works, what we do and don’t collect, and the promises we keep — in plain language.
Our promises
No ads, ever
No advertising in the app, anywhere, at any age.
We never sell data
Your family’s data is yours. We never sell or share it.
No engagement tricks
No autoplay, no endless feeds, no streak guilt, no surprise rewards.
COPPA by design
Built to collect the minimum from children, with parent-gated controls.
Accuracy guardrail
Every math and fact step is verified before it reaches your child.
A helper, not a person
The cub is honest that it’s a friendly helper — and points back to real people.
What the cub is
The cub is a friendly, AI-powered learning helper — not a real person, and not a replacement for people. It talks, teaches, and plays to help your child learn, and it’s designed to gently point your child back to family, friends, and the real world.
How it works
Powered by Claude AI
The cub uses Anthropic’s Claude to understand and reply. All AI keys live on our servers — never on your child’s device.
Teaches, never just answers
The cub guides with questions (Socratic), and every math or factual step is double-checked before your child hears it.
Safe by design
Every message is filtered for age-appropriateness, conversations stay on learning (no drift), and worrying moments are surfaced to you.
You can see everything
Every word exchanged is saved as a transcript you can read any time. Nothing is hidden.
What we collect
- A first name or nickname, and an age
- A few interests, to make learning personal
- Learning progress and the cub conversations (visible to you)
What we never collect
- No surname, address, school, or phone number
- No photos of your child, contacts, or location
- No biometric or advertising identifiers
- No data sold or shared with advertisers — ever
A healthy companion
DefaultYour cub is a friendly helper, not a person — and it’s designed to bring your child back to the people who love them, never to replace them.
Honest about what it is
Age-appropriately clear that the cub is a friendly helper made by computers — not a real person.
Points to the real world
The cub encourages family, friends, outdoor play, and rest — real connection comes first.
No unhealthy dependence
It never claims to be your child’s only friend or a substitute for people, and never discourages offline time.
