How voice classes work

Version: 2026-11-10

Draft: pending review by a lawyer.

Please read this before allowing voice classes. You decide for each child and can change your mind at any time.

The teacher is an AI

Your child talks out loud with an AI teacher, not a person, and no one listens in. If your child asks, the teacher says plainly that it's an AI. It may not say so otherwise, so please tell your child before their first class. It can make mistakes.

Where your child's voice goes

Class turns on the microphone; the camera stays off. As your child speaks, their voice travels, encrypted, to an AI speech service that listens, turns speech into text, works out the teacher's answer and speaks it. This happens live. The service can work in the United States or in other countries; our own server, which runs our teacher program, is in the United States. To teach, the AI is also given your child's first name or nickname, grade, favourite theme and where they left off.

What is kept, and what isn't

• We don't record the sound of classes or keep a full transcript.
• Our AI speech service's published policies say it keeps what it receives, which includes your child's voice and words, for up to 30 days to check for misuse, then deletes it unless the law or an investigation requires longer. It says it doesn't train its models on this data without the customer's permission. Our server doesn't record classes. The Privacy Policy lists the kinds of providers and where they are.
• We keep your child's progress, answers and a few of their own words, like an idea they explained, for your reports. Our database is in the United States.

If your child may be unsafe

If your child says something suggesting they may be hurt or unsafe, the teacher answers kindly, pointing them to their mom or dad or another grown-up they trust, and the screen says the same, with no phone number. We keep what was said around that moment, up to 20 lines, so a person on our team can follow up. We may contact you, and where the law requires, report to child protection services.

You're in charge

Your child can turn the microphone off or leave a class at any time. You can stop voice classes for a child on the Privacy and consents page; it applies from the next class. Removing a child deletes their profile, progress and reports. The Privacy Policy has the details. Questions: aifamilyschool@hotmail.com.
