Grown-Up FAQs

Getting Started with Socialeyez

What is Socialeyez?

Socialeyez is a kids-first digital growth platform that helps kids build healthier digital habits. Kids can see their progress, build their Rep Score, earn Stars and Badges, unlock rewards, and learn from meaningful digital moments with support from their Grown-Ups.

Who is Socialeyez for?

Socialeyez is designed for kids and families navigating growing independence in the digital world, with a core focus on kids ages 8–14.

How does Socialeyez work?

While Protection is active, Socialeyez can analyze information that is visibly present on a Kid’s screen and identify meaningful digital moments. Those moments can contribute to Behavior Insights, Rep Score changes, progress, rewards, or important safety information when appropriate.

Is Socialeyez a parental-control app?

Socialeyez includes features that support safer digital habits, but its purpose goes beyond traditional parental controls. Instead of focusing only on blocking, restricting, or monitoring, Socialeyez helps kids build judgment, confidence, and healthier digital habits of their own.

Family Accounts & Profiles

How do I add a Kid to Socialeyez?

A Grown-Up can add or link a Kid from the family account. Each Kid gets their own Socialeyez experience while remaining connected to the Grown-Ups who support them.

How do I add another Grown-Up or guardian?

Use the family invitation feature to invite another trusted Grown-Up to the existing family. They should join the current family rather than create a separate family for the same Kid.

Can I manage more than one Kid?

Yes. A family can have multiple Kids connected to the Grown-Up account. Each Kid’s Rep Score, progress, Insights, rewards, and activity remain separate.

Where do I manage my Kid’s birthday and grade level?

Birthday and Grade Level are managed through the Grown-Up experience. Kids do not manage these profile details themselves.

What happens if my Kid gets a new phone?

The new device may need to be linked to the existing Kid profile. Reconnect the Kid rather than creating a new profile so their existing family relationship and progress stay together.

Protection, Insights & Digital Safety

What is Protection?

Protection allows Socialeyez to identify meaningful digital moments from information visible on the Kid’s screen while it is active.

Does Socialeyez monitor everything my Kid does?

No. Socialeyez is not designed to give Grown-Ups a play-by-play of everything a Kid does. It focuses on meaningful digital moments that can support better awareness, choices, and family conversations.

What can Socialeyez actually detect?

Socialeyez can analyze text, images, and other information that is visibly present on the Kid’s screen while Protection is active. It cannot automatically know what happened off-screen, what a Kid clicked, or what they intended unless that information is clearly supported by what is visible.

What do Grown-Ups see?

Grown-Ups can see information designed to help them support their Kid, including Rep Score progress, Highlights, Behavior Insights, and Safety Alerts when a situation may involve serious risk.

What is a Behavior Insight?

A Behavior Insight gives Grown-Ups useful context about a meaningful digital moment. It is designed to help families understand what happened without treating every situation like an emergency.

What is a Safety Alert?

Safety Alerts are reserved for situations that may involve serious risk and deserve closer attention. Everyday growth moments and less serious concerns are handled separately.

What happens if Protection is turned off?

Socialeyez cannot provide the same level of insight while Protection is inactive. When Protection is turned back on, the Kid can return to their normal Socialeyez experience.

Does Socialeyez replace conversations between Kids and Grown-Ups?

No. Socialeyez is designed to support family conversations, not replace them. The goal is to provide better context and more opportunities to talk about digital choices constructively.

Screen Time

Can I control which apps stay available during Screen Time?

Your Kid chooses the apps they want to keep available, and the Grown-Up approves whether the Kid can make or change that selection.

Socialeyez calls these Apps to Keep On.

Can I see exactly which Apps to Keep On my Kid selected?

The approval experience is designed around whether the Kid can change their selection. The specific app information available to the Grown-Up may be limited by the device platform.

Grown-Up Reward FAQs

Are Socialeyez rewards real?

Yes. Socialeyez can offer real digital rewards, including gift cards from approved brands and partners. Available reward choices may change over time.

How are reward options selected?

Socialeyez uses a curated catalog of approved digital rewards. Options are selected with the intended Kid audience in mind.

Can Grown-Ups create their own rewards?

Not at this time. Socialeyez currently uses a standardized reward experience so rewards remain consistent and easy for families to understand.

Kid FAQs

Rep Score and Progress

What is my Rep Score?

Your Rep Score shows your progress over time. It reflects meaningful digital choices and gives you something positive to keep building.

It is not a permanent label or a score of whether you are a “good” or “bad” Kid.

What happens if my Rep Score goes down?

A lower Rep Score does not mean you failed. It means something affected your recent progress.

You can keep making positive choices and continue building from there.

What are Stars?

Stars are points you can earn through eligible positive activity in Socialeyez. They are one way Socialeyez helps make your progress visible.

What are Badges?

Badges recognize achievements and milestones you reach in Socialeyez.

What are Drops?

Drops are real rewards you can unlock as you make progress and reach qualifying milestones.

Friends and Support

How do I add a friend?

Use the Friends area in Socialeyez to connect with another Kid when the feature is available to you.

Friend relationships are separate from your family and Grown-Up connections.

Can my friends see everything I do?

No. Adding someone as a friend does not give them access to your private Behavior Insights, Safety Alerts, or everything happening on your device.

What are Nudges?

Nudges are private, supportive messages from a trusted Grown-Up. They can be used to encourage you, check in, or help start a conversation.

Kid Reward FAQs

How do I earn rewards?

You can earn rewards by making progress in Socialeyez and reaching qualifying milestones. Depending on the experience, rewards may be connected to Badges, progress, or other achievements.

Do Stars automatically turn into gift cards?

Not necessarily. Stars help show your progress, but earning Stars does not always mean they convert directly into money or a gift card.

Can I choose which reward I get?

When a Drop gives you a choice, you can choose from the approved reward options available to you at that time.

What happens after I earn a Drop?

Socialeyez will show you that you earned a Drop and guide you through the next steps to view or redeem your reward.

What if I earned a reward but can’t find it?

First, try reopening Socialeyez. If the reward still does not appear, ask your Grown-Up to contact the Socialeyez support team so we can help.

Still Have Questions?
