Safety
Built for parents to trust
Kindnesss is designed around one rule: a grown-up the child already knows is always in the loop.
Parents own child accounts
A child account only exists because a parent or guardian created it and consented to it. Parents can pause, edit or delete it at any time.
No child-to-stranger messaging
There is no open chat, no friend requests and no public profiles. Encouragement only comes from adults inside the family circle.
No precise child location
Kindnesss does not collect or display where a child is. Ideas are general, never map-pinned to a home or a school.
First names or nicknames only
In this prototype children are shown by first name or nickname. No surnames, no school names, no identifying details.
Adults join by invitation
Grandparents and other trusted adults are invited by a parent into a private family circle — never by discovery or search.
Photo controls
Photos are optional, private to the family circle, reviewed by a parent before they count, and deletable at any time.
Report and remove
Any adult in a circle can report or remove content, and a parent can wipe a child's history in one action.
No public leaderboard
Kindnesss deliberately avoids rankings and competitive pressure. Kindness is practised, not won.
Credits have no monetary value
Kindness Credits are encouragement only. They cannot be spent, exchanged, transferred or cashed out.
Money is never held by Kindnesss
Kindnesss records the pledge only. We never collect or transfer the reward. Every reward — cash or otherwise — is arranged and given directly by the adult who pledged it.
This is an early prototype
Kindnesss is currently a demonstration built with sample data. A full legal, privacy and child-safeguarding review — including children's data protection requirements — is needed before any public, child-facing launch.
