Trust & Safety
Built on consent, not assumption
Working with minors means our legal and ethical obligations come first. Every part of this platform is designed around informed consent, data minimization, and accountability.
Legal gate before every assessment
Age checks, jurisdiction checks, and consent verification all run before a case is created. If any check fails, the assessment cannot proceed.
Guardian consent, student assent
A parent or guardian must provide informed consent for any student under the age of majority. Students are also asked to assent in age-appropriate language before participating.
Data minimization by design
We collect only what is needed to run a valid assessment and generate a development plan. Students are referenced by pseudonym codes wherever possible.
Row-level access control
Every record in our database is protected by row-level security. A guardian can only see their own linked students. An assessor can only see cases they are assigned to.
Full audit trail
Every consent, assent, legal gate decision, and case status change is written to an immutable audit log for accountability and review.
Right to access and delete
Guardians can request a copy of their student's data or request deletion at any time, subject to reasonable recordkeeping requirements.
What we ask before an assessment begins
Who is the guardian?
We verify the account creating a student profile has the authority to consent on that student's behalf.
Where does the student live?
Availability and requirements can vary by state, region, and country. We check this before scheduling any assessment.
Has consent been given?
A guardian must explicitly consent, and — depending on age — the student must assent, before any assessor is assigned.
Are there safeguarding concerns?
Our process includes a safeguarding check as part of the legal gate, reviewed before any case moves forward.
