Safety & Privacy

Designed for families, with clear boundaries and responsible use.

HAKONE AI is designed for use inside the family home.

Because it involves children, screen-time routines, and parent-child dialogue, we believe the service must be built with clear boundaries.

Safety, privacy, and parental involvement are not optional features.

They are part of the foundation.

01
Parental Involvement Comes First

HAKONE AI is intended to be used with the consent and participation of a parent or legal guardian.

Children and minors should not use HAKONE AI as an isolated service.

The parent remains central.

HAKONE AI does not replace parental judgment.

It supports the family as parents and children build calmer screen-time routines together.
 

02
Not Secret Monitoring

HAKONE AI is not designed to secretly watch, track, or police a child.

It works through information intentionally provided by the family, parent-child dialogue, and visible family routines.

The purpose is not to catch the child doing something wrong.

The purpose is to help the family create a calmer structure around screens, conversation, and daily life.
 

03
Privacy-Conscious by Design

HAKONE AI is designed to collect only the information needed to provide and support the service.

This may include parent contact information, country, child age range, family screen-time goals, household routines, selected app inputs, and communication preferences.

We do not present HAKONE AI as a surveillance system.

Data handling, storage, security practices, and the use of any third-party AI infrastructure are explained in our Privacy Policy and related service terms.
 

04
Clear Non-Medical Boundary

HAKONE AI is not a medical, therapeutic, diagnostic, or emergency service.

It does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or predict any medical condition, mental health condition, or school attendance outcome.

HAKONE AI is a family-focused digital wellbeing and parent-child communication support service.

If you have urgent medical, psychological, safety, or emergency concerns, please contact appropriate local professionals or emergency services.
 

05
Human Responsibility Remains in the Home

HAKONE AI is designed to support human judgment, not replace it.

The service may provide prompts, routines, reference signals, and conversation cues.

But decisions about family rules, screen-time boundaries, safety, and care remain with the parent or legal guardian.

HAKONE AI is a tool for the home.

It is not the authority of the home.
 

06
Responsible Use of AI

HAKONE AI uses artificial intelligence to support family routines, conversation, and reflection.

AI-generated suggestions should be understood as supportive prompts, not final decisions.

Families should review suggestions carefully and use their own judgment.

HAKONE AI does not replace professional advice, parental responsibility, or direct communication within the family.
 

07
Data Minimization

HAKONE AI follows a data-minimization approach.

We aim to ask only for information that is relevant to configuring and supporting the family experience.

Families should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.

The service is designed to focus on household routines, screen-time agreements, parent-child dialogue, and family rhythm.

08
Transparency and Choice

Families should understand how HAKONE AI is used in the home.

Parents and legal guardians are responsible for explaining the service in an age-appropriate way.

The goal is not secrecy.

The goal is to create a shared family routine around screens, pause, and conversation.
 

09
Service Limits

HAKONE AI does not guarantee a specific result.

It does not promise that family conflict will disappear.

It does not guarantee that a child will reduce screen time.

It supports small, repeatable routines that may help families begin calmer conversations around screens.

A family AI must be more than intelligent.

It must be careful.

It must be understandable.

It must respect the role of the parent, the privacy of the family, and the individuality of the child.
 

That is why HAKONE AI places safety, privacy, and parental involvement at the center of its design.
