What Latitude stores

Latitude stores account email addresses, display names, family membership, check-in records, topics and boards, wall posts, notes, wins, growth areas, agreements, freedom requests, consequences, expectations, prayer focuses, child profiles, and invite codes — the content a family adds to run its shared workspace.

Children's accounts

Kids' accounts are created and managed by a parent. Children under 13 can only use Latitude within a family workspace their parent controls; parents choose what each child can see and can remove a child's account and content at any time. Latitude collects no more information from children than the family itself enters. We do not show ads to anyone, and never to children.

How families use it

Family members in the same workspace see shared family content. Parents-only wall posts and parent notes are visible only to parent accounts, protected by application permissions and enforced again at the data layer. There is no location tracking, message reading, web filtering, or screen-time surveillance anywhere in the product.

What Latitude is not

Latitude is not a medical, therapy, emergency, or crisis service. Families should use local emergency resources or qualified professionals for urgent safety, mental health, legal, or medical concerns.

Selling and sharing

We do not sell family data. We do not use family content for advertising. Our analytics are first-party, cookieless, and structural — they never contain the content of what your family writes. Apart from the parent-initiated AI feature described below, data access is limited to operating, securing, supporting, and improving the service.

Extended family & mentors. A parent may give a grandparent, mentor, or pastor a private, read-only link that shows only the scopes the parent selects (prayer, wins, and God-sightings) and only first names — never a child's private writing (things on their mind, journals, agreements, or points). It's parent-granted and revocable at any time.

AI-assisted features

AI-assisted features are off until a parent turns them on for your family (Account settings → AI-assisted features). Until then, nothing about your family is sent to any AI provider. When they're on:

Thriving brief. A parent can generate an optional summary to prepare for a weekly check-in. When — and only when — a parent chooses to generate one, Latitude sends a summary of your family's current entries (first names and age range, expectations, notes your family has written, wins, growth areas, and prayer focuses) to our AI provider, Anthropic, which returns a summary and suggestions. This is not automatic and never runs on its own.

Related-guidance suggestions. When a new freedom request or "Things on My Mind" entry is created, its text — which may include things your child wrote — is sent to Anthropic so a small model can suggest one relevant article from our parenting-guidance library. Only that entry's own text is sent; no names or other family data. The suggestion is shown to parents only.

Conversation coach. A parent can optionally ask for help phrasing a hard conversation. When they do, only the situation the parent types is sent to Anthropic to suggest grace-based wording; it's on-demand and nothing is stored.

In every case the data sent is not used to train AI models, is not sold, and is not retained by the provider beyond answering the request. Every part of Latitude works with AI off, and a parent can turn it off again at any time.

Export and deletion

Any parent can download a complete archive of the family's data (readable JSON plus original photos) or permanently delete the account and every piece of content — self-service, from the "Family data & privacy" page inside the app, no support request needed. Deletion is immediate and irreversible, and also removes the family's analytics rows.

Parent responsibility

Parents and guardians are responsible for inviting family members, managing membership and roles, and choosing what information belongs in Latitude.
