Private by default
Everything you put into CoreParent (your plan, journal, calendar, expenses, and messages) is yours alone. Your co-parent sees nothing unless you explicitly choose to share a specific item. Companion, our assistant, works only inside your own account and can never send a message to your co-parent; the send button is always yours.
What Companion's AI actually does
Companion uses Anthropic's Claude for a few specific jobs: spotting a calendar event, expense, or appointment inside a message so you can add it in one tap; offering a calmer rewrite when a draft might land hot; and summarizing records when you ask. It only ever receives what a feature needs to run, and our AI keys live on our servers, never in the app on your phone.
Your children's names stay on our servers
Before Companion analyzes a message, suggests a calmer rewrite, reframes an incoming message, or summarizes a deadline brief, our servers replace your children's profile names with neutral placeholders (like "Child A"), and put the real names back into what you see. The AI provider never receives the names on your children's profiles for those features. Honest scoping: this covers profile names only (a nickname typed in a message is sent as written), and it does not yet cover attorney summaries, translation, or Snap & File documents.
Never used to train AI. Deleted within 30 days.
We send that content to a single AI provider, Anthropic. We recently removed a second provider so there is one clear path. Under Anthropic's commercial API terms, your content is never used to train their models and is deleted within 30 days. We also do not keep the text of your prompts or Companion's replies in our own logs, only anonymous usage counts. Read the full privacy policy.
You can turn Companion AI off
If you would rather CoreParent never send your content to AI, turn Companion AI off in Settings → Notifications. While it is off, your messages and content are not sent to Anthropic, and everything else (your calendar, reminders, and records) keeps working exactly as before.
We never keep your money
Stripe processes every payment between co-parents and sends it automatically to the receiving parent's own account. CoreParent never keeps a balance or wallet and never sees your card details.
Protected in transit, at rest, and by access controls
Your data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest on our managed storage infrastructure, with uploaded files served only through short-lived signed links. Sign-in is handled by Clerk, and access is limited by role-based permissions with internal security reviews. For the full picture of how CoreParent earns trust, including certified court records and the claims we refuse to make, see /trust.
Common questions
Does AI read my messages?
Only when a feature needs it, for example to spot an event or expense you can add in one tap, or to suggest a calmer rewrite. You can turn Companion AI off entirely in Settings, and then nothing is sent to AI.
Do you train AI on my data?
No. Under Anthropic's commercial API terms, your content is not used to train their models, and it is deleted within 30 days. We also don't keep the text of your prompts or Companion's replies in our own logs.
Does the AI see my children's names?
For everyday Companion features (message analysis, calmer rewrites, incoming-message reframes, and deadline briefs), no. Our servers replace your children's profile names with neutral placeholders before anything is sent, and restore them in what you see. Nicknames typed in a message go through as written, and attorney summaries, translation, and Snap & File documents are not yet covered.
Can I stop my data going to AI completely?
Yes. Turn Companion AI off in Settings → Notifications. One nuance: a message you send to a co-parent who uses Companion can still be read by their assistant, the same way an email you send can be read by the recipient's own tools.
Does my co-parent see what I put in?
No. Everything is private to your account by default; your co-parent sees only the specific items you choose to share. Companion can never message your co-parent for you.
Which AI company do you use?
Anthropic, the maker of Claude and a US-based AI company. It is the single AI provider behind Companion.
