AUREN uses AI to protect children from AI-related harm. We recognise the irony — and we take our ethical responsibilities seriously. These are not aspirations; they are binding commitments.
AUREN collects only what is absolutely necessary. Chat conversations are not stored beyond the session. No user profiling. No advertising.
AUREN's AI clearly identifies itself as an AI. It will always tell you when it doesn't know something, and will always direct you to human professionals for serious concerns.
AUREN does not accept sponsorship from technology platforms, AI companies, or any organisation with a commercial interest in children's data. Recommendations are independent.
All AI-generated content is reviewed by qualified safeguarding professionals. The AI augments human expertise — it does not replace it.
AUREN's content, AI behaviour, and ethical practices are reviewed quarterly by an independent advisory panel including child safety experts, parents, and young people.
AUREN's AI may occasionally produce inaccurate information. Always verify critical decisions with professional advice.
The AI cannot replace qualified safeguarding professionals, legal advisors, or law enforcement.
In a crisis, always contact emergency services (999) or specialist organisations (CEOP, Childline) directly.
AUREN's AI is designed to be helpful but conservative — it will err on the side of directing you to professional help.
The AI does not have access to real-time information about specific legal cases or ongoing investigations.
