Privacy
Less to protect, by design
- Your child never types to an AI. They pick from pictures and tiles.
- Your child’s name goes into books on your device. It’s never sent to an AI company.
- No ads, no trackers, no analytics companies.
- You say yes to each feature, and can say no again from Controls.
- If you turn recording on, recordings are kept 30 days and never used to train AI.
- Download or delete everything from Privacy & data.

Questions
Questions parents ask
How much time does it take each day?
Ten to fifteen minutes: a short lesson, a book from the shelf and a little writing. Then the plan says it’s done. You can set a shorter limit.
Is every book new?
No. The shelf has three books every day. Family writes 15 new books a month for your family and Family Plus writes 25. The rest come from our library of checked books and from books worth reading again.
What does it run on?
Any modern browser on a tablet, laptop or desktop, plus an app for iPhone and iPad. Books your child has already opened keep working offline. No Android app yet.
My child reads above or below grade level. Does that matter?
No. The reading check places your child by the sounds they know, not by their age. You can change the stage yourself.
What about siblings?
The Family plan covers up to 4 children and Family Plus up to 6. Each child gets their own shelf, their own place in the sequence and their own sign-in picture. The family shares the book allowance.
Can I pick a book topic?
Yes. Ask for a book on any topic from your account, up to 4 a month per child. It’s written from the sounds your child knows and checked like every other book.
Does my child need to read out loud to a microphone?
No. Voice recording is optional and off until you turn it on. Without it, we track progress from the words they tap and the questions they answer.
