Safety on Taz
Last updated: 29 September 2026
Taz is designed with children's safety in mind. What a child types is automatically checked for harmful topics, and common personal details are removed before it reaches the AI. The AI's answer is checked again before the child sees it. An adult creates the account and sets the limits.
No automated system is perfect. These checks reduce the chance of a child seeing something unsuitable, but they cannot rule it out, and AI answers can sometimes be wrong. We recommend that a parent or other trusted adult stays involved in how their child uses Taz, and we ask you to report anything that slips through so we can improve.
Automatic checks on each conversation
| When | What Taz is designed to do |
|---|---|
| Before the AI sees a message | Check it for blocked topics and gently redirect the child |
| Before the AI sees a message | Remove common personal details such as email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses and card numbers |
| Before the child sees an answer | Check the AI's answer for unsuitable content |
| Before the child sees an answer | Remove personal details that the first check may have missed |
Topics Taz steers away from
Taz is set up to avoid violence and weapons, self-harm, requests for personal information or to meet in person, hate speech, extremism, and adult content such as sex, drugs, alcohol and gambling. When a child raises something worrying about their own feelings, Taz encourages them to talk to a trusted adult. Taz is not a counselling or emergency service.
Reporting
Children can report any message in one tap. Reported messages are kept so they can be reviewed, and we use them to improve Taz's checks.
Breaks and screen time
By default Taz suggests a break after 60 minutes, with a reminder 5 minutes before. Parents can set their own time and question limits.
What the adult on the account controls
- Accounts are created by a parent, guardian or other adult.
- They can set time and question limits and block topics.
- Email summaries and safety alerts for parents are coming soon.
- They can ask what data we hold and delete the account at any time.
What happens to your child's data
- We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for advertising or to build advertising profiles of children.
- Common personal details are removed before a message goes to an AI provider. We choose AI providers that offer not to train on or keep these messages wherever that option is available.
- Our records of AI use store the kind of question, the model and the cost, not the words.
