Safety & Trust

Learning you can trust, for every age

Safety is built into Skolena — from reviewed tutor profiles and age-appropriate content to parental controls, secure payments, and privacy by design.

For parents & families
How we keep you safe

Six pillars of a safe platform

Every learner, family, and educator deserves a platform that protects them by default.

Reviewed tutor profiles

An administrator reviews a tutor's submitted profile before it can be booked, and qualifications, ratings and reviews are visible on it. We do not yet run identity-document or criminal-record checks, so please read profiles carefully and stay involved in a child's sessions.

Age-appropriate content

Courses and tutoring are matched to age and grade level. Younger learners only see content suitable for them, and search filters never surface mature material.

Parental visibility and controls

Parents link to a child account in seconds, monitor progress in real time, set screen-time limits, and approve purchases before checkout completes.

Privacy by design

We minimize the data we collect, never sell personal data, and encrypt information in transit and at rest. You control your data and can export or delete it.

Secure payments

Payments are processed by PCI-compliant providers. Card details never touch our servers, and refunds follow a clear, published policy.

Reporting a concern

You can report a tutor, a session, or a message to us at any time using the reporting form, and we will look into it. Reports go to our support team; we are still building a dedicated safety triage queue with published response times.

Always on

Protections that run in the background

Know where your session runs

Tutors choose their own meeting platform, so a session may run on an external service such as Zoom or Meet. Check the link on the tutor's profile before a child joins.

Bookings and messages on record

Bookings and in-platform messages are kept in your account so you can refer back to them. Sessions themselves are not recorded.

Parent-linked accounts

A parent or guardian can link to a child's account, and under-13 learners require verified parental consent before an account is used.

Compliance

Standards we hold ourselves to

We are building toward the standards that protect learners and the data we are trusted with — and we publish our progress.
