Privacy & compliance: COPPA and GDPR for families

A child-safety product earns its place only if it treats children's data with the highest standards. Here's how the rules work — and the promises we hold ourselves to.

COPPA and GDPR, briefly

COPPA (in the US) and the GDPR (in the EU) both set strict rules for handling minors' data: collect only what's necessary, be transparent about it, and give families control. We build to the stricter of the two so families everywhere benefit.

What we collect — and why

We collect what's needed to keep your child safe and your dashboard useful: the policies you set, safety-relevant activity, and — when you enable it — location for features like geofences and the panic flow.

What Guard never does, by design

• Read private messages, chats, emails, or calls.
• Capture keystrokes or passwords.
• Access photos, videos, or files.
• Touch social-media accounts or collect biometric data.

Control stays with you

You decide what's enabled, you can review what's collected, and you can turn features off. Safety should never come at the cost of a child's dignity — and transparency is how we keep that promise.
