Backend-only
The OpenAI API key must live only in Firebase Cloud Functions, never in Flutter or the website client.
AI Safety
Sprout Assistant, Parent Coach, Study Helper and AI Guard with backend-only OpenAI and output guard.
AI refuses
AI refuses bypass, gambling tips, cheating, harmful content and requests for intimate details.
No images to AI
Camera and video never send images, thumbnails or base64 to AI.
How it works
Sprout Guard combines local scanner flows, age-appropriate rules, help recipients, guides and short backend AI explanations.
What parents can see
Parents can see safety alerts, app names and time, blocked categories, active rules, child-shared reports and location if sharing is enabled.
What parents cannot see
Parents cannot see every message, every photo, blocked intimate images, hidden screen recordings, passwords or full browsing history by default.
Not spyware
Sprout Guard uses visible safety flows and official platform features where possible. It does not promise hidden surveillance.
Limitations
Some features require iOS Screen Time, Android Family Link, Usage Access or manual setup. No app can guarantee 100% safety.
Setup
Start with login, role choice, help recipient, notification test and then the safety profiles that fit the family.
