What Your Child Sees

Sensible is designed to be transparent. Your child will see indicators that monitoring is active. Here's exactly what they'll see.

Extension popup​

When your child clicks the Sensible icon in Chrome's toolbar, they see:

Sensible Active

Your parent has set up Sensible to help keep you safe online.

What this means:

  • Your AI conversations (like with Claude) in THIS Chrome profile are shared with your parent
  • Your parent may receive alerts about certain topics
  • This helps your parent understand how you're using AI
  • Other Chrome profiles on this computer are NOT monitored

Questions? Talk to your parent about why they set this up.

First-run welcome message​

The first time the extension is linked, your child sees a one-time message:

Sensible is now active

Hi! Your parent has set up Sensible on this Chrome profile.

Here's what you should know:

  • Your chats with AI assistants (like Claude) will be shared with your parent
  • Only THIS Chrome profile is monitored — other profiles are private
  • This is to help keep you safe, not to get you in trouble
  • If you have concerns, talk to your parent

This message only appears once. Your child can always click the extension icon to see the info again.

Persistent indicator​

When the extension is active and linked, a small green dot appears on the extension icon. If your child hovers over it, they'll see: "Sensible: Monitoring active."

Why transparency matters​

  • Children ages 10-17 deserve to know they're being monitored
  • Transparent monitoring builds trust
  • It satisfies COPPA's direct notice requirements
  • It encourages open conversations between you and your child
