HeyOtto Parental Consent & Child Safety
  • At HeyOtto, your child’s safety is at the center of every feature we build. Because our app allows kids to explore AI tools, search the web safely, and create content, we follow strict industry-standard safety practices — including verifiable parental consent.

Below is a simple explanation of why consent matters, how it works, and what you can expect.

Children’s privacy is protected by laws like COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). These laws require platforms like HeyOtto to confirm that a child’s parent or legal guardian:

  • Understands what information is being collected
  • Approves how their child uses the app
  • Has full control over privacy and safety settings
  • Can update or revoke consent at any time

Requiring parental consent ensures that you, not a platform, are in control of your child’s experience. It also helps prevent unauthorized accounts and keeps digital spaces safer for everyone.

To create a HeyOtto parent account, you simply need to review and accept COPPA consent. This one-time step confirms that the adult creating the account is the child’s parent or legal guardian.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Create your parent account at chat.heyotto.app
  2. Review the COPPA consent form
  3. Accept to confirm parental approval

Once accepted, your child can safely use HeyOtto within the guidelines you set.
