For kids
Hey. This is for you too.
Your parent asked you to install TinyBeacon. Here is what it actually does, in plain words, and what you can do about it.
What your parent can see
If something pops up on your screen that could be dangerous — a stranger asking for your address, or someone trying to scare or pressure you — TinyBeacon's tool reads it and tells your parent. Your parent sees a short note about what happened. Not everything you do. Not who you talk to. Not your private conversations with your friends.
What your parent cannot see
Your games. Your normal chats. Your homework. Your photos. Anything the tool reads and decides is safe is immediately thrown away.
You can turn it off
If you don't want the tool watching anymore, open the app and tap “I want to stop.” Your parent will know you turned it off so you can talk about it. That's on purpose — not as a punishment, but because the whole point is you and your parent working together.
A note to your parent
If you're a parent reading this with your child: this page exists because we think your child deserves to know exactly what TinyBeacon does. The same alert they would see, you see. No secrets either way.
