Children & teens

FairlyFam is for ages 13 and up

Families include children, so we've made careful choices about who can have an account and what teens can do.

Draft — pending legal review. This page is a plain-language placeholder. It is not yet a binding legal document and will be replaced before FairlyFam launches.

No accounts under 13

When someone signs up, FairlyFam asks for their birth month and year. If they're under 13, they can't create an account. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and FairlyFam is not designed for or marketed to them.

If you think a child under 13 has an account, email support@fairlyfam.com and we'll delete it.

How teens join (13–17)

  1. An adult in the family invites the teen with a code, link or QR code.
  2. The adult who approves the join confirms they're the teen's parent or guardian. Being in the same family doesn't make someone a guardian.
  3. The guardian chooses which features the teen can use, and can change it later.

Teen accounts open after a legal and safety review, so they may arrive after adult accounts.

What guardians control

  • Turning features on or off for a teen, such as adding to shopping lists.
  • Whether a teen may join friend circles outside the family.
  • Whether a teen may use My photos (private photo backup).

What's always off for teens

  • The assistant isn't available for teen accounts yet, so nothing a teen writes is sent to an AI model.
  • FairlyFam never stores or suggests facts about a teen unless the teen writes them.
  • Only adults create chores, check them or record payouts. Teens can mark their own chores done.
  • Guardians can't browse a teen's My photos library.
  • The family activity log is for adults.
  • No public profiles, search, discovery or mixed-age circles outside the family.

A teen's own privacy

Teens can keep private reminders and notes that parents can't read. Safety-related actions, like account removal or consent changes, stay visible to guardians.

Younger children

Children under 13 don't have accounts. We're designing a way for a parent to add a younger child to the Family Display with just a name and a colour, with no account and no other data about them.

Safety tools

Every message, post and photo can be reported, anyone can be blocked, and every photo is safety-scanned before anyone else sees it. See privacy & safety and how to report a concern.
