Human choice comes first
Our design commitments are explicit permission, bounded authority, visible actions, Stop and Revoke, and human control over continuity. These are requirements to implement and test, not a claim that every control is already complete.
What the current model offers
The app lets visitors explore companion designs, choose or create a companion and use available conversation features. Life-stage categories organise the catalogue; they are not age verification or an enforced parent PIN lock. Young Explorer remains a preview and is not approved for unsupervised child use.
Evidence before guarantees
Recorded live tests of the separately deployed username reservation receipt beta produced one completed and four blocked operations, with ten signed receipts verified using the retained key and checkpoint checks. This evidence covers that beta endpoint, not every action in this app. Stop/Revoke was demonstrated at its transaction boundary; propagation to external tools and delegated agents, protection against privileged host administrators and an independent human audit remain outside the demonstrated scope.
The 27 Control Cells define the wider acceptance requirements. Inspect the receipt tests, recorded results and limitations. The interactive browser test there is a local demonstration, not a production action. Publishing a rule or specification is not proof that the working model passes it.
Feelings are yours to describe
Wellbeing designs use optional reminders and user-initiated check-ins. They exclude automatic emotional judgement and automatic changes based on inferred stress. They do not diagnose or replace qualified human help.
Private memories require care
Deep Drive is a separate private beta for approved accounts. Its client rules restrict access to the owning approved account; privileged Firebase administrators and sufficiently privileged service accounts are a separate access boundary. Read Deep Drive’s privacy and access notice for storage, processing and deletion details. Before storing a photo, consider the privacy and wishes of every person pictured, especially children. Owning a photograph does not by itself settle their privacy rights. Wider access requires a documented assessment of data use and safeguards.
Shared principles, separate projects
The Law Bible is the governing reference for the standalone Companion Forge / Game concept. Alongkind publishes it as a reference. Shared values do not create a technical integration, common data store or shared permissions with that project or TriadNetwork.
Ask, inspect or challenge
Questions about a feature, a claim or your information can be sent to bendyson@alongkind.com. Our aim is to make each feature’s status, limits and evidence understandable before asking people to trust it.
