Terms of service
The deal, stated plainly.
Everything below is how Guardian works today. The full legal text is being finalized with counsel and will replace this note before launch; it can add detail to these commitments, never weaken them.
What Guardian is
A consent service: verified parents approve, limit, or revoke what their child can do on participating platforms, and platforms receive a signed answer without the child's identity. Guardian is not a monitoring product and does not observe what happens inside a platform.
Who can use it
Adults who verify their identity with our verification partner. Enrolling a child requires being their verified parent or guardian; inviting another adult onto a family requires their own verification, never a shortcut through yours.
What you agree to
To verify honestly, to enroll only children you genuinely have authority for, and to keep your sign-in to yourself. Decisions made on your account are yours; that attribution is what makes the consent worth something to everyone relying on it.
What platforms agree to
Participating platforms honor the answers, re-check revocations, and never receive more than the signed result. A platform's own rules and safety features remain its own responsibility.
What we don't promise
Guardian proves consent; it cannot guarantee a child's behavior, another user's conduct, or a platform's moderation. We aim for the service to be available and correct, and when something breaks we say so plainly.
Changes and contact
If these terms change in a way that matters, we tell you before it takes effect. Questions about any of this reach a person, not a form that goes nowhere.
