The Problem
.
What does our platform do?
.
Our Cloud-based communications platform enables the community around a school (students, parents, etc.) to send confidential warnings about student potentially at risk, especially those exhibiting behaviors that could result in suicide or violence.
These warnings are automatically routed to the specific person the school has designated as most capable of assessing and formulating a plan of action to protect or help the student for that type of warning.
How does it work and who is it for?
Accessible via web and mobile app, our secure, configurable system ensures compliance with North American and EU/EEA privacy regulations while minimizing false alarms and enabling proactive intervention.
.
Our platform enables the entire school community—students, parents, and educators—to confidentially report concerns, preventing potential incidents of violence and suicide before they escalate.
It helps answer the question “what are you doing to keep students safe?”, supplementing or complementing physical security.
Community-Driven Communication:
Enables students, parents, and teachers to report concerns, fostering a culture of shared responsibility.
Scalable and Configurable Cloud Platform:
Easily adaptable for different school systems with automated, school-specific routing.
Safe and Confidential Reporting:
Allows confidential submissions, protecting students while ensuring accountability.
Proactive Risk Prevention:
Alerts schools early to potential dangers, preventing crises before they happen.
Targeted and Streamlined Communication:
Ensures that warnings reach the right personnel for timely and effective action.
For First Responders
The platform can be configured to automatically alert first responders in emergency situations such as a school fire, catastrophic injuries, a school shooter, etc.

Confidential instead of anonymous?
First generation “Tips” systems have limited ability to be configured and customized, and to automatically route tips. In addition, they typically supported anonymous tips, which resulted in large volumes of prank or malicious tips. This in turn, placed a large burden on school staff. Our platform uses confidential reporting with very strict limits on the accessibiity of who made the report. This allows administrators to backtrack to who is reporting in cases where an attempt is made to use the platform itself as a malicious tool, and to attach consequences.
Is the Platform difficult or complicated to set up?
Our platform is designed to be easy for schools to implement and to onboard users. The platform is highly configurable to suit the unique needs of each school district or school. There will be video tutorials and Customer Support Staff in case any questions arise. Once set up, the platform will automatically route warnings to school-designated personnel, and minimize impact on school staff. The interface is web-based, so there is no hardware investment required.
How do you protect children’s privacy?
In North America and in Europe there are strict laws regarding the collection and use of children’s personal information. In the USA it is the Children’s Online Personal Privacy Act (COPPA) which requires parental permission before we can even obtain the child’s name. In Europe, both the EU and the EEA, we follow the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) which have an entire section devoted to child privacy and data protection. In addition, we follow industry-standard guidelines (SOC 2 & SOPIPA) regarding the safeguarding of data. These are the same rules financial institutions such as your bank use to safeguard your data.
Is your AI (Artificial Intelligence) spying on my children?
No. Absolutely not. That would be a violation of the very child privacy standards that goverments and regulatory bodies have created in order to protect children’s privacy. One of our key differentiators compared to other systems is that we are not “using technology on children.” We are using technology to provide a service to children that allows them to voluntarily tell the appropriate people and authorities what is going on, and protecting those children from retaliation in the process. Children are perfectly free to choose when to participate, and when not to. AI only helps us to early identify broad sociological trends across geographical regions or educational segments. Our AI does not look at individual participants in the system.
