EllchatPrivacy by default for younger users
Designing for teenagers means collecting less and explaining more.
Effective and last updated: 23 August 2026Start with less data
Ellchat does not need advertising profiles, payment details or a precise location to provide conversation. Data collection should stay tied to account access, messaging, security and moderation.
Clear choices
Policies and controls need language that a 14-year-old can understand. Important consequences should appear where the choice is made, not only inside a long legal document.
An ongoing responsibility
Age gates are not a complete child-safety system. Risk assessments, privacy defaults, moderation capacity and user support all need regular review as features and audiences change.
