Real friends, real life

AnLog turns the phone into a launchpad for real-world play. Kids schedule playdates, join cooperative games, and take on cultural quests that connect them to families in other towns. Every interaction is parent-approved before it happens.

Safe by architecture

Not "safe." Provably safe.

These aren't promises or projections. They are structural facts of how AnLog is built. Every claim below is true by design — not by policy, not by "we'll get to it."

01

COPPA compliant by architecture, not by retrofit

Pseudonymized accounts, monogram avatars, no child photos. Data is parent-governed and transparent from the first line of code.

02

Every connection requires two parent approvals — yours and theirs

No connection is ever created by a child alone. Both guardians must approve. This is enforced at the database level, not the UI level.

03

No behavioral tracking. No child-targeted ads. Ever.

There is no ad SDK. There is no behavioral profile. There is no engagement-maximizing feed algorithm. These do not exist in the codebase.

04

AI moderation runs on every message before it's delivered, not after

The moderation layer sits in the message pipeline. Nothing reaches a child's screen without passing through it first. Nudges happen before escalation.

The safety architecture — step by step
STEP 01 · SIGNUP
Child initiates
Kid picks a nickname, age, and town. Nothing happens until a parent completes setup.
STEP 02 · VERIFY
Parent verification
Guardian verifies identity and creates the House. Account is locked until verified.
STEP 03 · APPROVE
Connection approval
Both parents must approve any connection. No unilateral friending — ever.
STEP 04 · MODERATE
AI moderation
Every message passes through AI moderation before delivery. Nudges before escalation.
STEP 05 · GROUND
Grounding, not punishment
Violations trigger a pause, not a ban. Parental approval required to lift.
STEP 06 · VISIBLE
Full activity visibility
Parents see everything: posts, chats, connections, playdates. No hidden activity.

  • 2 We do not share photos of children. We use monogram avatars only.
  • 3 We approve connections thoughtfully. We do not approve strangers.
  • 4 We model positive behavior. We celebrate, we do not shame.
  • 5 We report concerns immediately. We trust the moderation layer.
  • 6 We honor the grounding system. A pause is a lesson, not a punishment.
