Questions

Snapshot — the questions parents ask

Does my child know Guardian is there?+

Yes. Guardian is visible on their phone under its own name and consent is recorded at pairing — it isn’t a hidden or secret tool.

Where do the photos and screenshots go?+

They’re private to your account and kept for a short window, then deleted automatically.
