WimziPal for Parents
Deciding what's okay for your kid and AI is genuinely hard — the space is new and most advice is either hype or fear. These are honest, practical guides written by the person who built WimziPal, an aunt who wanted something better for her nephews than the endless scroll.

How WimziPal keeps your child safe
The short version: WimziPal is a bounded, parent-supervised AI companion — not an open chatbot. There's no open internet and no contact with strangers, every message is moderated on the server both ways, voice and photos are never stored, there are no ads and nothing is sold, and you can read every word your child heard. For the full detail, see our child safety & age-suitability page and privacy policy.
