Safety questions

Straight answers about safety.

Is Helm safe for kids?
Yes. Parents approve every post, message, follow, and Live invite before it happens. Kids only see kid-approved content and can only message approved contacts. Live for kids and teens is family-only, and every account requires two-factor verification so there are no anonymous bots.
How does Helm keep bots and strangers out?
Every account must pass two-factor verification, so each user is a real, verified human. Kid and teen accounts add parent-approved contacts and age-appropriate feeds on top of that.
Where does Helm store my data?
In the United States. Helm is engineered and operated in the U.S., and your data is never sold to advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else.
Does Helm show ads to kids or anyone?
No. Helm does not run ads or track behavior for ad targeting. The platform is funded by creator monetization and sponsorship fees, not by your attention.
What controls do parents actually get?
A single dashboard to approve every connection, set daily screen-time windows, require post approval for kids under 13, force family-only Live, and pause a child's whole account with one tap.
