Child-safety commitments

A child's voice is among the most sensitive data a product can touch. When VoiceQuest powers a toy, companion, or any product used by children, these commitments apply — by design, not by policy alone.

Our commitments

• Voice stays on the device. Raw audio and voiceprint features are processed and stored locally on the device. They are not transmitted to our cloud.
• The cloud holds only de-identified memory. What we store to give the product continuity is keyed to an anonymous identifier and carries no biometric payload.
• Parents are in control. Parents get a one-tap panel to view, export, and delete everything associated with their child, at any time.
• No advertising, no profiling. We never use children's data to build advertising or marketing profiles, and we never sell it.
• Data minimization. We collect and retain only what is needed for the product to remember, and no more.

How this maps to the law

COPPA

By keeping voice on the device and de-identifying cloud memory, we help device makers minimize the personal information collected from children and support verifiable parental consent, access, and deletion — the core obligations of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

BIPA and biometric-privacy laws

A voiceprint is a biometric identifier under laws like Illinois' BIPA. Because raw voiceprints never leave the device, the biometric is not collected, stored, or transmitted by our cloud — reducing the biometric-privacy surface for products built on VoiceQuest.

Maryland's 2027 AI-toy rules

Maryland's requirements for AI toys take effect in January 2027. Our edge-first architecture is designed to meet them ahead of the deadline, so device makers can treat compliance as a shipped feature rather than a scramble.

For device makers

The Edge SDK ships with child-data compliance packaging — consent flows, a parent data-sovereignty panel, and the audit trail your compliance review will ask for. We join at product-definition stage so safety is built in, not bolted on. See the Data Sovereignty page for the technical detail.

Reporting a concern

If you're a parent or researcher with a child-safety concern about a product built on VoiceQuest, contact us at ops@voiceq.ai. We take these reports seriously and respond promptly.
