Sensible Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 2026 Last Updated: February 2026

Overview

Sensible ("we," "our," or "us") provides a parental monitoring service that allows parents to view their children's conversations with AI assistants (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Character.AI). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our Chrome extension and web dashboard.

Important: Sensible is designed for parents to monitor their minor children's AI conversations. By using Sensible, you confirm that you are the parent or legal guardian of any child whose conversations are monitored.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Parent Account Information

When you create a Sensible account, we collect:

  • Email address
  • Password (encrypted)
  • Account creation date

1.2 Child Profile Information

When you add a child to monitor, we collect:

  • Child's name or nickname (as entered by parent)
  • A unique link code for device pairing

1.3 Device Information

When the Chrome extension is linked to a child's profile, we collect:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Device token (randomly generated identifier)
  • First connection and last activity timestamps

1.4 Conversation Data

When your child interacts with supported AI platforms, we capture:

  • Platform identifier (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Character.AI)
  • Timestamp of the conversation
  • Conversation thread/session identifiers

1.5 Safety Analysis Data

We automatically analyze conversations for safety concerns and store:

  • Whether a conversation was flagged for review
  • Severity level (low, medium, high, critical)
  • Categories of concern (if any)
  • Brief explanation of why content was flagged

2. How We Use Your Information

2.1 Primary Purpose

We use collected information solely to:

  • Display your child's AI conversations to you (the parent)

Conversations are analyzed using AI (Claude by Anthropic) to identify potentially harmful content including:

  • Self-harm or suicide references
  • Violence or threats
  • Sexual content
  • Illegal activities

This analysis happens automatically when conversations are captured. We do not use conversation content for any other purpose.

  • We do NOT sell your data to third parties
  • We do NOT use conversation data for advertising
  • We do NOT share data with third parties except as required for the service (see Section 5)
