Policy

AI and Children's Data Policy

Our rules for using AI tools in sessions without exposing children's personal data.

Draft — requires owner and professional review

This policy has been drafted for our pre-launch website and reflects the site's current functionality. It will be reviewed by the business owner and an appropriate professional before being finalised.

Why this policy exists

AI tools can collect, store and learn from the information people put into them. Children's personal data deserves special protection, so we have set clear rules for how AI is used in our sessions.

Our rules

  1. No personal data in AI tools. We never enter children's names, photographs, voices, schools, ages or any other identifying information into AI services.
  2. No child accounts. Children do not create accounts on AI platforms during our sessions.
  3. Instructor-operated generative AI. Where generative AI is used, an adult instructor operates it. Children contribute ideas through picture-based prompt cards, and prompts are fictional.
  4. Objects, not people. Image-recognition activities use everyday objects and prepared examples — never children's faces or voices.
  5. Tool review. Before using any tool, we review its terms, age requirements, privacy information and suitability, and keep that review up to date.
  6. No uploads of children's work to AI services without the express agreement of parents, and never with identifying information.
  7. Transparency. We will tell families which tools are used in each course.

Teaching about data

We also teach children about data: how AI learns from examples, why data can be biased, and why they should think carefully before sharing personal information online.

Review

This policy will be reviewed before launch and whenever we introduce a new AI tool.
