Parent Safety Policy

At MyT (myteenspaces.com), we believe a "Teen Revolution" is only possible when it is built on a foundation of safety and trust. We have designed a comprehensive suite of top-tier safety features that empower parents to secure their teen's digital universe while allowing them the freedom to connect, learn, and grow.

We maintain a strict teen-only environment through rigorous identity checks:

• Ages 13–15: To join the MyT community, members in this age bracket must have electronically signed permission from a parent or legal guardian.
• Verification for 13–15s: Parents are required to upload their own Government ID and a clear photo of their child to verify the account's legitimacy.
• Ages 15–19: Older teens must independently verify their identity by uploading a Photo ID (e.g., State ID, School ID, Driver's Permit, or Passport).

These tools are built directly into the MyT app and must be activated by a parent on their teen's MyT profile:

• New Friend Notifications: Whenever a teen matches with a new user or adds someone to their page, parents will receive an instant notification.
• Daily Schedule Sync: Members can create a daily schedule on the MyT Calendar to manage their time. This calendar can be shared directly with parents to provide visibility into their day-to-day activities.
• Smart Security Controls: Parents have the authority to toggle specific features on or off, ensuring that safety settings are customized to their family's needs.

• Bully Protection: Our platform uses dedicated protection tools to keep the vibes high and the drama low.
• Vetted Interactions: From FaceTime to the "New Friend Matching" feature, we use algorithms and monitoring to ensure interactions remain respectful and safe.
• Privacy Defaults: All accounts for younger teens start with the highest privacy settings, allowing parents to review and adjust who can see their teen's content.

We’ve designed these features so parents can chill while teens do their thing. By utilizing
