Privacy

Last updated November 2026. Draft pending legal review.

The short version

Everything BRODY watches is off until it is turned on. BRODY keeps numbers and short summaries instead of recordings, and trustees see a gentle summary rather than a transcript of everything said.

What we collect

• Trustees: name, email, an optional phone number, and a password stored only as a hash.
• Parents: name, time zone, routines, the chat messages needed for the check-in conversation, and the sharing choices.
• Numbers: routine check-offs, speech pace and pauses, mood scores, scam-check counts and help requests.
• Optional memories BRODY keeps to be a better companion, which the lead trustee can review and delete.

What we do not keep

• Audio. Voice is measured in the browser and only numbers are sent.
• The text of messages checked for scams, or forwarded by text message.
• Phone numbers that forward texts, other than a one-way hash.
• Anything the parent has not agreed to share.

Who sees it

Lead trustees and trustees see the status line, notes, alerts and summaries. Circle members see only the one-line status and can send notes. We do not sell data and do not show ads.

Service providers

• Hosting and database (Canadian region).
• Twilio, for urgent text and phone alerts and scam forwarding.
• An AI model provider, which receives chat text with names removed.

Your choices

• The parent can pause monitoring at any time.
• Each kind of sharing can be switched off separately.
• Trustees can delete a parent and all their data, and delete memories one by one.

Safety and breaches

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. If a breach puts people at real risk of harm we will tell those affected and the Privacy Commissioner as required by law.
