Forgeen Child Safety Policy

1. Introduction

At Forgeen, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for all users, with special attention to the safety of children and minors who may use our family learning platform. This Child Safety Policy outlines our approach to protecting minors and preventing harmful or inappropriate content or interactions within our story-driven adventure experience.

2. Age Requirements

Forgeen is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. Users between the ages of 13 and 18 should have parent or guardian consent to use the service. We implement an age verification system during the sign-up process to help enforce these requirements. Family use should be supervised by a parent or guardian.

The following age restrictions apply:

• Users under 13 years of age are not permitted to use Forgeen.
• Users between 13-18 years require parental consent.
• Certain features may have additional age restrictions clearly indicated within the app.
• Adventure planning and episode features are designed with age-appropriate content and expectations.

5. Adventure Content Safety

Our AI-assisted planning tools and templates are designed with safety in mind:
