Safety and privacy

Built for children first. The adults stay in control.

Here is exactly what that means, in plain words, for parents, teachers and the people in a school who have to sign off.

For every child

What AI Buddy always does.

Names stay out of AI

Names, emails and phone numbers are removed before a student's words reach an AI service. Personal details a child types, like a phone number or a social handle, are blocked.

Every answer screened

Answers are screened for safety, and every AI answer has a Report button that a person reviews. Screening is a safety check, not a promise the answer is always right.

Care when it matters

If a child writes about self-harm or abuse, they get a caring reply with helplines, and the right adult is alerted: the parent for a child at home, the school's safeguarding lead for a school child. The chat itself is not shared.

Their syllabus, not the internet

The AI Teachers work from the student's own CBSE chapter. We tell children to check important facts with their teacher or textbook, because AI can make mistakes.

Private chats

A student's chats with the AI tutor stay private: teachers and parents see progress, not the conversations. Students can ask anything without worrying that someone is reading. If a child writes about harm, the right adult is alerted.

No ads, no tracking

No ads, ever. No advertising IDs and no third-party analytics in the apps. Children's data is used to teach them, and for nothing else.

Who decides

Parents and schools hold the switches.

Parents

You decide about AI, child by child.

  • Switch the AI tutors on or off for each child; lessons, quizzes and marks keep working
  • Children are profiles under your account: no phone number, email or password of their own
  • Every school link of your child needs your approval
  • Delete a child, or your account, any time from the app

Schools

Your rules, at school and at home.

  • Choose the youngest class that gets the AI tutors; the strictest setting wins
  • Two-step sign-in for staff; teachers see only their own subjects
  • AI usage per plan and a daily cap on AI time per student
  • Students join only from your roster with personal invites; there is no shared school code

Real app screens · sample data

Your data, plainly

  • What we collect is what teaching needs: a child's first name, class and curriculum, what they study and how they answer. Children do not need a phone number or email.
  • Who sees it: the student; their parent; their teachers and school leaders, for school children, from the day the parent links. Never another family or another school.
  • AI services receive the question and the chapter, never a name, email or phone number.
  • Deletion: a parent can delete a child or the whole account at any time in the app; a request on the web is handled within 30 days.

For school IT and safeguarding leads

We answer your vendor checklist in writing, with a named contact. The trust and safety pack covers:

  • Where student data is hosted, and encryption in transit and at rest
  • Who can access what, with audit logs
  • Retention, and deletion or return when a licence ends
  • How and when we tell you about an incident
  • The data processing agreement, including the AI services used and where they process data
  • How safeguarding alerts reach your safeguarding lead (they never replace your own procedure)
  • Sign-in: roster-based school logins; your own identity system isn't supported yet

The rules we design against

We design AI Buddy to the UAE's personal data protection law, the app stores' rules for apps used by families and children, and UAE guidance on generative AI and children. A compliance summary comes with the trust and safety pack. This page describes how AI Buddy works; it is not legal advice.

This website itself uses no cookies, no ads and no third-party analytics. See the website privacy notice.

Questions, answered

Is AI Buddy safe for my child to use alone?

It is built for that. Answers are screened for safety, personal details are blocked, every answer has a Report button, and a child who writes about self-harm or abuse gets a caring reply with helplines while the right adult is alerted. You choose whether your child can use the AI tutors at all.

Can teachers or parents read a child's chats with the AI?

No. Teachers and parents see progress, results and where the child is stuck, not the conversations. Safety alerts never include the chat.

Is my child's data used to advertise?

No. There are no ads in AI Buddy, no advertising IDs and no third-party analytics in the apps.

Which AI services does AI Buddy use?

AI Buddy's tutors are AI Buddy's own: our teaching, safety screening and syllabus on top of carefully chosen AI services. Schools receive the list of those services, and where they process data, privately under the data processing agreement. They receive the question and the chapter, never a name, email or phone number.

How do I delete my child's data?

In the AI Buddy Parent app you can delete a child, or your whole account, at any time. You can also ask on the web, and we handle it within 30 days.
