For children and parents

Calcali is made for learning, including by children. Here’s how we keep it safe, in plain words.

If you’re under 18

• People only see your username and the picture you chose. Never your real name.
• There are no private messages. Everything is in the open, so it’s easy to spot anything wrong.
• Don’t share your name, school, address, phone number or social media in posts. We try to stop it automatically.
• If something feels wrong, tap ⋯ › Report, or tell a trusted adult. You can also email safety@calcali.app.
• Your settings are private by default. Your school name, if you add one, is only shown to you.

If you’re under 13

A parent or carer needs to say yes before you can post. We email them a link. Until then you can still read, practise and use whiteboards. Joining your teacher’s class with a class code works too: your school gives permission instead.

For parents and carers

• We collect the minimum: a username, birth year, and your email (to ask permission). No phone number, no real name, no location.
• No adverts, no data selling, no tracking, no streaks or tricks to keep children scrolling.
• You can ask us to see or delete your child’s account and everything in it: email safety@calcali.app from the address you gave. You can also withdraw permission at any time.
• If your child forgets their password and has no email on the account, their teacher (for class accounts) or you (if you gave your email) can help them back in: use “Forgot password?” and choose “I don’t have an email”.
