How TONEC STUDY keeps children safe
TONEC STUDY is used mostly by children, so safety isn't an extra setting – it's how the app is built. Here's what that means in practice.
Age groups that never mix with adults
When TONEC STUDY is set up, the student chooses their age group. The app uses it to keep under-18s and adults apart and to switch features on or off. Students under 18 can't find, add, chat with, call, duel or race adults, and open classrooms never mix the two.
Parents decide
- For a child under 14, a parent confirms by email before anything can be bought. Every purchase goes through Google Play.
- Under 16, friends, chat and calls stay off until a parent says yes.
- From 16 to 17, every feature is on – but friends, chats and calls are only with other under-18s.
No contact details in chats
Links, phone numbers and email addresses can't be sent in chats, and swear words are replaced by asterisks automatically. Anyone can block or report another student from a profile, a chat or a classroom, and the TONEC STUDY team reviews reports and can remove content or accounts.
Calls are never recorded
Students can study together on a voice or video call. Neither calls between friends nor live classrooms are ever recorded.
Teachers are checked by hand
Before a teacher can run their own class, we check their request by hand: their school, its town, their work email and what they teach.
Ads only if a student chooses
After a game, a student can choose to watch a short ad to double the IQ they earned. Ads only play when tapped, they're child-safe and never personalised, and Premium has none.
Only the data the app needs
TONEC STUDY asks for an age group, not a birthday. It keeps an account, a profile, your child's progress and what they share with friends – and there are no analytics or tracking tools in the app. You can delete an account at any time, in the app or without it. The full details are in our privacy policy.
A weekly report for you
With Premium, a parent who confirmed their email gets a short report every Sunday evening (grades 1 to 9): what your child practised and how it went.
