Safety for Teens (Guardian Accounts, Rules, Recordings)
How Guruu protects minors: guardian-managed accounts, on-platform rules, and recordings.
Is Guruu safe for teenagers?
Guruu is designed with safety built into the system for young users through guardian involvement, on-platform sessions, and rules that discourage off-platform contact.
Why it matters: teens can learn online with clearer oversight and reduced risk.
How it works: guardian-managed setup → on-platform messaging/sessions → escalation pathways → evidence if needed.
Good to know: anyone under 18 is considered a minor and uses guardian-managed rules.
How do guardian accounts work for young users?
A guardian sets up the account and adds the teen as a young user.
Why it matters: guardian oversight increases trust and reduces risk.
How it works: guardian creates account → adds young user → manages booking/payment permissions.
Good to know: guardian involvement is designed to reduce secrecy and make covert contact harder.
Can teenagers pay for sessions themselves?
For young users, payments are typically handled by the guardian rather than the teen.
Why it matters: prevents minors transacting independently and keeps responsibility clear.
How it works: teen attends/requests session → guardian approves/pays under account rules.
Good to know: if you're a teen, ask your guardian to book/approve early so you don't miss the time slot.
Are teen sessions recorded?
Yes. Sessions are recorded as part of Guruu's trust model, including sessions involving young users.
Why it matters: recordings protect teens, guardians, and providers by creating evidence.
How it works: session runs in-platform → recording captured → access controlled by policy.
Good to know: recordings are also useful for learning — teens can rewatch explanations before exams.
What can parents see and control?
Guardians have oversight of account setup and payments for young users, and visibility as needed for safety and dispute handling.
Why it matters: guardians need confidence to allow online sessions.
How it works: guardian manages account → policies define access boundaries → escalate issues through reporting.
Good to know: this transparency is deliberate — it makes it harder for groomers to use the platform invisibly.
What should a teen do if something feels wrong?
Stop engaging if needed, tell your guardian, and use the in-platform safety alert if available. Keeping everything on-platform preserves context.
Why it matters: fast reporting prevents repeat harm and enables appropriate action.
How it works: stop → tell guardian → alert/report → follow instructions.
Good to know: if the issue is about service quality or refunds, use the dispute pathway rather than a safety alert.
What happens when a teen turns 18?
Their account can transition out of guardian-managed rules depending on your platform process.
Why it matters: rules stay appropriate to age.
How it works: age milestone → eligibility changes → account settings update.
Good to know: once you're an adult, you can manage your own bookings and payments.
