Safety & Parental Controls

These are not options. They are absent from the product, and there is no switch that turns them on:

• No messaging. There is no chat, no comments, no direct messages, no forum.
• No other users. A child cannot see, find or be found by anyone outside their own family.
• No public profiles and no sharing. Nothing a child writes is published anywhere.
• No uploads. A child cannot upload a photo, a video or a file.
• No open web. There is no browser, no search box onto the internet, and no user-supplied links.
• No advertising. No ads, no sponsored content, no ad networks, no tracking.
• No purchases. A child cannot spend money. There is no in-app purchase and no store.
• No engagement mechanics. No streak pressure, no autoplay feed, and no notification is ever sent to a child. We message you, the grown-up, about things you can act on.

• Who has access. You create every child profile and issue every Kid Code, and can change a code at any time.
• What they study. Nothing reaches a child until you assign it. You choose the plans and the pace.
• The level. Age and reading level shape how much a child reads and how a lesson is worded.
• What they have done. Progress, answers and written work are all visible to you in the dashboard.
• Their voice practice. You can record a memory verse in your own voice for your child to practise against.
• What we tell you. Notifications go to you, never to your child. You choose which ones you get, and you can switch any of them off in the app under Your account.
• Whether it continues. Remove a profile or close the account whenever you decide.

Some activities ask a child to type an answer or draft a short script. That text is stored in your account and shown to you. It is never published, never shown to another family, and never used for any purpose other than the lesson.

We design the prompts so there is no reason for a child to type personal details, and we ask them not to. Because you can see what they wrote, you can check.

Every lesson is written and reviewed by our team before a child can see it. There is no user-generated content in the curriculum, and no algorithm choosing what comes next. What your child is shown is what we wrote and you assigned. Our doctrinal commitments are set out in What We Believe, and how a lesson is built in Curriculum Approach.

Little Bereans works well with the controls you already use — Screen Time on iOS, Family Link and Digital Wellbeing on Android, and your router or DNS filter. We would rather be one safe app inside a thoughtful household setup than ask you to trust us alone.

If you see something in a lesson that worries you, or anything that looks like a safety problem, write to our contact form. Say which child profile and which lesson, and we will look at it quickly. If a child is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
