Data Security & Privacy

At Other, we have ensured that SafetyMode prioritises the security and privacy of your family's data. Here's exactly what that means:

On-Device Processing

Screen Content Protection

  • All screen content, text, and images are processed entirely on your child's device
  • No visual content ever leaves the phone
  • Any screen content you don't explicitly choose to save is automatically deleted

Local AI Models Our content filtering models run completely on-device, optimized for speed and accuracy while maintaining a small footprint.

Android Security Notice The pop-up that appears when the device starts is a standard Android notification required for any app with screen recording permissions. This is an Android security feature, not a SafetyMode-specific message. We cannot see passwords, personal data, or any content on the phone.


Data That Leaves the Device

Only two types of data are transmitted from your child's phone:

1. Remote Management Data

Allows you to configure and monitor the device from your parent app:

  • Password reset requests
  • SafetyMode configuration settings (e.g., content filter levels)
  • Location tracking information

2. Anonymized Technical Data

Helps us improve SafetyMode performance and stability:

  • Crash reports and error logs (no personal information included)
  • Anonymous usage patterns to enhance features

Summary: Your child's actual content—what they see, type, or view—never leaves their device. Only configuration settings and location data are accessible remotely, and technical diagnostics are fully anonymized.
