Family safety, connected to the household you already manage
HausPlatz Family Safety is a planned guardian-managed extension for healthier device routines, safer web access, family check-ins, and earlier awareness when a household rule needs attention. It is being designed around transparency, age-appropriate independence, and privacy-conscious alerts.

Clear boundaries, visible to the whole family
Guardian-approved app boundaries
Set age-appropriate limits and exceptions together, using the controls each platform makes available.
Web protection
Use guardian-managed categories, custom allowlists, and protective restrictions where the operating system supports them.
Check-ins and help requests
Give children and teens clear ways to check in, ask for more time, or tell an authorized guardian they need help.
Privacy-conscious alerts
Notify guardians about rule triggers, unusual timing, missed check-ins, and protection-status changes without collecting private conversations.
Protection that grows with the child
Adjust visible rules, independence, approvals, and review as a child becomes a teen and household needs change.
Trust by design
Protection, not secret surveillance
Designed to provide
- Visible guardian-approved protection
- Household schedules and age-appropriate rules
- Web-category filtering where supported
- Usage-threshold and protection-status events
- Check-ins, help requests, and guardian review
- Short, controlled retention of safety-event metadata
Not designed to provide
- Secret installation
- Private-message reading
- Photo or video collection
- Continuous screen or microphone recording
- Spouse or partner surveillance
- A permanent archive of a child's digital life
Apple and Android provide different parental-control capabilities. Final HausPlatz features will vary by platform and require the appropriate guardian approvals.

Protection continuity
Know when protection needs attention
Family Safety is planned to keep authorized guardians informed when an enrolled device stops checking in, required permissions change, or its protection status can no longer be confirmed.
Planned safeguards
- Guardian-approved unlinking of a protected device
- Visible statuses: Protected, Check-in delayed, Needs attention, Offline, Unlinked
- Privacy-minimized connection and protection-health check-ins when the OS permits
- Server-evaluated last successful check-in and grace period
- Guardian push, account email, or both
- Visible child/teen protection status and request flow
- Recovery checklist for guardians
Background check-ins and removal protection vary by platform, connectivity, battery state, and enrollment method. A delayed check-in does not prove that the companion was removed or deliberately disabled.

- Is Family Safety available now?
- No. HausPlatz Family Safety is planned future work for v9.0.0. This page is a concept preview, not a released feature.
- Will parents be able to read every message?
- No. Private-message reading is not part of the planned design.
- Will HausPlatz upload photos or record the screen?
- No. The planned design does not include a photo repository, video collection, or continuous screen recording.
- Will children know protection is active?
- Yes. The planned design makes protection status and family rules visible to children and teens, with clear request and help actions.
- Can a child uninstall or disable Family Safety?
- HausPlatz will not promise impossible removal prevention. Where platforms permit, authorized guardians may see that protection needs attention when a device stops checking in or permissions change. A delayed check-in does not prove removal or deliberate disabling.
- Can a guardian remove a device legitimately?
- Yes. Planned flows include safe unlinking, recovery, replacement enrollment, and decommissioning by an authorized guardian.
- Will it work the same on Android and iPhone?
- No. Apple and Android provide different parental-control capabilities. Final features will vary by platform and require the appropriate guardian approvals.
- Is pricing available?
- Not yet. Family Safety pricing has not been announced, and the planned feature has not been assigned to the Free, Premium, or Pro plans.
