Your family’s privacy and security are our priorities
We know privacy is important to you and your family. That’s why parent-managed accounts are protected by strict privacy settings, and all personal messages are secured with end-to-end encryption. We have designed managed accounts based on feedback from parents and experts, and regularly work with independent reviewers to examine and evolve our safeguards to keep families safe.
