AI, safety and child data
haal is being built around a simple principle: families deserve useful technology that is calm, careful and respectful of children.
Parents and carers stay in control
haal is designed to support parents and carers. It may suggest reminders, actions, reflections or child development ideas, but it should never replace parental judgement or professional advice.
We design around children’s best interests
Children are not productivity projects. haal aims to support growth gently, avoid unnecessary pressure and keep child-related information proportionate to the support being provided.
What AI may do
- Help organise family rhythms and reminders.
- Suggest small, practical family actions.
- Help parents notice patterns, interests and possible strengths.
- Offer gentle ideas for learning, practice and development.
What AI should not do
- Diagnose a child or parent.
- Make safeguarding, medical or psychological decisions.
- Score a child’s worth, ability or future.
- Replace a teacher, clinician, therapist or parent.
Child data principles
- Collect only what helps the product support the family.
- Use child information carefully and proportionately.
- Avoid manipulative design and unnecessary profiling.
- Make privacy and safety part of the product, not an afterthought.
- Give parents and carers meaningful control.
Early preview approach
During the early preview, we are learning carefully with families. Features may be limited, reviewed and adjusted before wider release. We would rather move slowly and safely than pretend family technology is simple.
Emergencies and safeguarding
haal is not an emergency or safeguarding service. If you believe a child or adult is at immediate risk, contact emergency services or an appropriate safeguarding professional.
