By using Alfie AI, you agree to abide by this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of our service immediately.

2. Age Restrictions and Parental Consent

Alfie AI is designed for children under the age of 13, but parental or guardian consent is required for children to use the platform. As a parent or educator, you are responsible for supervising the child’s use of the service and ensuring they follow these guidelines.

3. Information We Collect

We collect the following information to provide our services:

4. How We Use Collected Information

We use the collected information to authenticate users, generate chat interactions, and improve our services. We use third-party services like Firebase for user authentication and Stripe for payment processing. Chat history is stored for 30 days for moderation purposes.

5. User Responsibilities

Parents and educators are responsible for managing accounts, supervising interactions, and reviewing content. Children must adhere to the rules set by their guardians and should not share inappropriate content.

6. Uploaded Content and Parental/Educator Monitoring

Alfie AI allows for the exchange of text-based conversations and the uploading of images. It is the responsibility of parents and educators to monitor both chat history and any images shared on the platform.

7. Use of Tokens

Accounts may receive tokens, which allow children to interact with Alfie AI. Misuse of tokens, such as engaging in inappropriate content, is prohibited.

8. Prohibited Conduct

Users agree not to bypass content filters, share inappropriate material, or use the platform for illegal activities. Such actions will result in account suspension.

9. Content Filtering and Accuracy

We use advanced filters to block harmful content, but no system is foolproof. Parents and educators must actively monitor interactions for safety.

We implement industry-standard security measures, but no system is perfect. Chat history is retained for 30 days, and personal information is stored only as needed to provide our services.

11. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 without parental consent. If such data is discovered, it will be deleted.
