Our Commitment to Child Safety

walletOS is designed to be a safe, benign, and privacy-respecting tool for all users. We are committed to the protection of minors and full compliance with applicable child safety laws and platform policies, including Google Play's Families Policy.

Core Safety Principles

The following principles govern how walletOS is designed, distributed, and maintained with child safety in mind.

No Data Collection from Minors
walletOS collects zero personal data from any user — regardless of age. Children's information is never stored, transmitted, or processed on external servers.
No Advertising
walletOS contains no advertisements of any kind — no banners, no video ads, no sponsored content. Children using the app are not exposed to any marketing.
Optional Pro Subscription
walletOS has an optional Pro subscription ($1.99/mo) for AI and report features. Core features are free. Android parental controls (Google Play Family Library) can be used to restrict in-app purchases for minors.
No Social Features
walletOS has no social networking, chat, community features, user profiles, or any mechanism for strangers to contact each other through the app.
Account Optional
All core features work without registration (guest mode). An optional account may be created for cloud sync — minors should do so only with parental consent. No identifying information is required to use the app in guest mode.
Appropriate Content Only
The app contains only personal finance tools — numbers, categories, charts. There is no user-generated content, external links to harmful material, or age-inappropriate content.

Compliance Overview

The following table summarizes walletOS's compliance posture with key child safety-related requirements.

Requirement Status Notes
COPPA Compliance (USA) ✓ Compliant Guest mode: no personal data collected. Account creation advises parental consent for under-13 users; we delete such accounts promptly on request.
GDPR-K (EU Children) ✓ Compliant Guest mode: no data processing. Account creation for minors requires parental consent per applicable age thresholds.
Google Play Families Policy ✓ Compliant No ads. Optional Pro subscription disclosed. Guest mode collects no data. Parental purchase controls supported.
Behavioral Advertising to Minors ✗ None No advertising of any kind exists in the app.
Persistent Identifiers for Minors ✗ Not Used No advertising IDs, cookies, or tracking identifiers used.
Age Gate / Parental Consent Flow N/A Not required for guest mode. Account creation (optional) advises parental consent for under-13 users.
Content Age Rating ✓ Everyone Rated "Everyone" on Google Play. No mature content.
CSAM Policy ✓ Zero Tolerance App contains no user-generated content or media of any kind.

No User-Generated Content

walletOS does not allow users to submit, upload, share, or broadcast any content to other users. The app is a personal, single-user finance tool. In guest mode all data stays entirely on the user's own device. Signed-in users may sync their private financial data to their own cloud account — this data is never accessible to other users or shared publicly.

Because there is no user-generated content platform, no messaging, and no public sharing, there is no vector for child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, cyberbullying, or other content-related harms that this policy typically addresses.

ℹ️
Important: walletOS has a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of child exploitation or abuse. If we ever discover content within our control that violates this standard, we will immediately report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law enforcement, as required by law.

Parental Guidance

walletOS can be a useful educational tool for teenagers and young adults learning to manage their finances. Parents and guardians may wish to use the app alongside their children to teach budgeting, saving, and expense tracking.

In guest mode, parents can review a child's app data simply by looking at the device. If a child has created an account, parents can contact us to request account deletion and removal of all associated data.

👨‍👩‍👧
Tip for parents: The "Wipe All Data" option in Settings → Data instantly resets the app on the device. To also remove cloud data, use Settings → Account → Delete Account. Google Play parental controls can be used to prevent in-app subscription purchases.

Reporting Concerns

While the nature of walletOS (an offline, single-user finance app) makes most child safety concerns inapplicable, we take any report seriously. If you believe walletOS is being used in a manner that harms a child, or if you have any concerns related to child safety, please contact us immediately.

How to Report a Concern

Send an email to our safety team with a clear description of your concern. We commit to acknowledging all safety-related reports within 24 hours and resolving them as quickly as possible.

For reports of CSAM or child exploitation involving our platform, we will immediately escalate to NCMEC's CyberTipline and cooperate fully with law enforcement.
