This page is for you, the kid. A grown-up in your family put Lantore on this PC. This is what it does, in words made for your age. There is one section for each age group: pick yours.
Ages 6 to 9
What the app looks at
- When you chat in a game, Lantore looks at the chat words on the screen.
- It also looks at what you type in a chat box.
- If your grown-up turned it on, it can listen to voice chat and turn the talking into words.
What it never does
- It never records your voice. The sound is thrown away.
- It never uses your webcam.
- It never reads your passwords.
- It does not read things you type outside of chat, like homework or searches.
Who sees what
- Your grown-up sees a short note if something in a chat might not be safe.
- Nobody at Lantore reads your chats.
- Most chats are forgotten right away.
Talking to a parent
If something online feels wrong or scary, tell your grown-up. You will not be in trouble for telling them.
You can see what was reported
Click the Lantore lantern in the corner of your screen. It shows what Lantore watches and a list of notes that were sent about you.
Ages 10 to 12
What the app looks at
- Lantore reads chat text on your screen, but only while you are taking part in a chat. It does not read other people's chat when you are not part of it.
- It reads what you type in chat boxes.
- If your parent turned on voice, it turns your talking in voice chat into text on this PC. It does not save the audio.
- It notes which app or website was open, so an alert can say where something happened.
What it never does
- It never records or saves audio.
- It never uses your webcam.
- It never reads passwords or anything you type outside chat.
- It never hides. The icon is always there.
Who sees what
- Before anything leaves your PC, names and personal details are replaced.
- A computer checks the text. If nothing looks unsafe, it is forgotten straight away.
- If something does look unsafe, your parent gets a short summary and a few lines. No person at Lantore reads your chats.
Talking to a parent
Lantore is not there to catch you out. It is there so that someone is looking out for you. If someone online asks you to keep secrets, asks you to move to a different app, or makes you feel uncomfortable, tell your parent. You can also ask them what Lantore is set to do.
You can see what was reported
Open the Lantore window from the tray icon. You can see what is switched on and a list of alerts sent about you (the list shows when and what kind, not your messages).
Ages 13 to 17
What the app looks at
- Chat text on screen, only while you are taking part in a chat or a voice session and for a few minutes after. Not other people's conversations you are not part of.
- What you type into chat boxes, if your parent enabled it. Never password fields, and never typing outside chat.
- Voice chat turned into text on this PC, only if your parent enabled it where you live. The audio is never stored or uploaded.
- Which app or website was open (and the window title for chat apps, with names hidden).
What it never does
- No audio recording, no webcam, no keylogging outside chat, no reading passwords.
- It does not run hidden. The tray icon is always visible and uninstalling needs your parent's PIN, but nothing about it is secret.
- No person at Lantore reads your conversations, and it does not sell or share your data for ads or AI training.
Who sees what
- Text is redacted on the PC. An automated check looks for patterns that matter for your safety, like someone pressuring you, asking for personal details or photos, or trying to take a chat somewhere private.
- Your parent is alerted for serious concerns, with a minimal excerpt. For older teens they see less detail on purpose. If a topic is personal (like identity or how you are feeling), the alert is softened and does not suggest passing it on.
Talking to a parent
You are allowed to ask your parent what is on, why, and what they see. If you think a setting is too much, say so: they can change it. If something online is making you feel unsafe, you can tell them, or a trusted adult, a school counselor, or a helpline.
You can see what was reported
The Lantore window shows what is monitored and a log of alerts sent about you (time, kind and app, not your messages). At 14 and over, Lantore also asks you to confirm that you have read this notice. That confirmation is a record that you were told. It is not a permission.
