Home / Parental controls & privacy

Parents in control

Your home, your rules

Petal Home puts parents in charge. You decide what each person in the household can see and do, from the little ones to the teens, and Petal Home grows with your child exactly how you wish. It is all private by design, with no adverts and no tracking.

Petal Home parental controls, choosing what a child can see

The family stays in control, always

A family app should fit around your household, not the other way around. In Petal Home, parents hold the reins. You choose who sees what, you decide how much each child can do, and you can change any of it whenever you like. Nothing is out of your hands.

Per-child permissions in Petal Home: hidden, view or edit

You decide what each person sees

Set what every family member can see and do, person by person. Hide what is not for them, let them view some things, and give edit access where you are happy to. It is your call, for each child.

  • Choose what each child can see and do
  • Keep grown-up things for grown-ups
  • Different settings for different ages

It grows with your child

Give a little more access as they get older, and adjust it any time. Petal Home keeps pace with your family, on your terms.

Grown-ups set things up

Only an adult (18 or over) creates the household and takes the subscription. Younger members join a household a parent or guardian has already set up.

Private by design

No adverts, no ad tracking, and we never sell your information. Things you keep private stay just for you.

Kept safe

Information is encrypted in transit and passwords are securely hashed, so no one, including us, can read them.

Built with children in mind

Looking after younger users shapes how Petal Home is built: parents set up or approve a child's account, per-child permission controls decide what each one sees, location stays off unless it is switched on with permission, and we keep data collection to the minimum needed to run Petal Home. These measures reflect the principles of the ICO's Age Appropriate Design Code.
