Child safety policy

The defaults Daryl uses for anyone under 18, and how parents change them. These match California's rules for minors everywhere in the US.

Effective October 27, 2026Children's privacy notice →

Summary

  • Children under 13 get structured tools, never chat.
  • Teens get time limits, memory off and notifications off by default.
  • Parents set the limits and can delete everything.

This summary is not part of the policy. The full text below applies.

Kids and teen features are opening in stages. Where something below isn't open in your household yet, the stricter setting applies: children can't chat at all, and nothing from or about a child goes to an outside AI company.

Children (under 13)

No chat. Structured tools only: routines, chores and points, timers, stories a parent approves. No push notifications, no streaks, no ads. Nothing goes to an outside AI company. See the Children's privacy notice.

Teens (13–17)

Chat for schoolwork, planning and their own routines. One hour a session, two hours a day, memory off and notifications off unless a parent changes them. No romance or role-play.

Parents control

Time limits, quiet hours, story themes, memory and notifications, and delete-everything, from Me › Household.

Crisis

A linked parent is told, and teens are offered 988. See the Safety and crisis protocol.

Owner and review

Reviewed every six months and before any change to the kids or teen features.
