# A Note for Parents and Guardians

Version 1.0 Effective date: 2026-10-10 Last updated: 2026-10-31

## How SomaSkul accounts work

You, the parent or guardian, own the account. You sign in with your phone number and a one-time code we send by SMS. From your Family Dashboard you add each child who will study with SomaSkul (up to three).

Each child gets their own student profile. When you add a child you give their name, date of birth, curriculum (CBC or KCSE) and class, and choose a 4-digit PIN. You also confirm that you are their parent or guardian and that you agree to SomaSkul processing their information as described in the Privacy Policy (somaskul.co.ke/privacy). Students must be at least 13 years old; SomaSkul will not create a profile for a younger child.

Your child signs in with their PIN on your phone. When they are done, "Switch user" brings the phone back to you. Because the parent side has no PIN of its own, keep the phone with you if you do not want your child to reach the parent dashboard.

## What you can see and do

See each child's progress: topics they are doing well in or finding hard, study-plan

activity, a weekly summary and alerts.

Lock or unlock a child's access, change their details, or remove them.
See how many free days are left, or until when a paid plan runs.

You do not see your child's conversations with ZANA, SomaSkul's AI tutor. Those stay on the phone they used; SomaSkul's server does not keep a copy.

## Free trial and paying

Each new student gets a free trial when you add them. After that, a parent pays per student on the SomaSkul website (somaskul.co.ke/pay), by M-Pesa, Airtel Money or card through Paystack. Nothing is sold inside the app, and students are never shown prices. See the Subscription & Billing Terms (somaskul.co.ke/subscriptions).

## What SomaSkul does with your child's information

The full detail is in the Privacy Policy. In short:

We keep the child's name, date of birth, curriculum, class and study progress, to run

their account.

When your child uses ZANA's cloud help or sends a homework photo, the question (and photo)

is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to produce an answer. SomaSkul does not store the photo afterwards, and Anthropic does not use it to train its models.

We do not show ads and do not sell anyone's information.

## Removing a child or deleting your account

To remove a child: Family Dashboard, open the child, then Remove this student.
To delete your own account: Account & settings, then Privacy, terms & account,

then Delete My Account. Remove your students first; deleting your own account does not remove them.

What is deleted and what is kept is explained at somaskul.co.ke/delete-account.

## Questions about your child's data

To see, correct or delete the information SomaSkul holds about your child, or for any other question, email [email protected]. We will ask you to confirm details about the account (such as the phone number on it) before acting, so that no one else can make requests about your child.
