PRIVACY & QUESTIONS

Common Questions

We designed KidLatch for privacy-first parents. Explore how on-device containment safeguards your Android system without intrusive permissions or cloud dependencies.

Privacy By Design

KidLatch’s core locking functions run directly on your phone. No child account is required, and we've designed KidLatch to minimize unnecessary data collection.

What is KidLatch and how does it work?

KidLatch is an instant Android app designed for parents who occasionally hand their phone to a young child. Activate KidLatch while your child is using an app, and it helps prevent unwanted navigations and accidental phone actions until you release it.

Does KidLatch collect information about my child?

No. KidLatch does not require a child account and is not designed to collect your child's personal information, viewing history, or activity. Core KidLatch functions run on your device. If you choose to provide an email for updates, purchases, or early access, it is handled separately and is not sold to advertisers.

Do I need to register an account or provide an email?

No account is required to use KidLatch. An email may be requested separately if you choose to join the founding 100, receive product updates, or complete a purchase.

Does KidLatch require an active internet connection?

KidLatch’s core locking features are designed to work directly on your Android device without requiring an active internet connection. Some optional functions, such as purchases, updates, or online services, may require internet access.

Which Android versions and manufacturers are supported?

KidLatch is built for modern Android devices. Compatibility can vary by Android version and phone manufacturer, so we are actively testing across different devices during the Founding 100 rollout.

Can a toddler bypass the latch with gestures or power buttons?

KidLatch is designed to block common escape routes such as navigation gestures and other accidental phone actions while active. Parents use the configured release method to return the phone to normal operation.

How is KidLatch different from standard Android App Pinning?

Android App Pinning can help keep one app on screen, but it was not specifically designed for toddlers. KidLatch is being built around the real-world problem of handing your phone to a young child, with simpler parent controls and additional protection against common accidental interactions.

Does KidLatch drain battery life while running in the background?

KidLatch is designed to remain lightweight when it isn't actively being used. During testing, we're continuing to monitor battery usage across different Android devices and manufacturers.
