The "Walled Garden": Why Taley is Safer Than the Open Internet

The internet was not built for children. Even platforms with "Kids Mode" often fail to filter out inappropriate content completely. At Taley, we take a different path: We don't just filter – we build a protected space from the ground up.

💡 Key Takeaways

  • No "Rabbit Holes": Taley uses no addictive algorithms that keep children glued to the screen.
  • 3-Layer Filter: Every AI-generated line is triple-checked (AI + Rules + Human).
  • Data Privacy "Made in Germany": Servers in Germany, full GDPR compliance, no selling of data.
  • Audio First: Safety also means protection from sensory overload. Taley is screen-free.

The Problem: When "Kids Mode" Fails

Many parents know this: You give your child the tablet with a supposedly safe video app, and 20 minutes later the child ends up watching disturbing content or aggressive advertising for toys.

The problem is structural: Ad-financed platforms want attention at any cost. Their algorithms are trained to suggest ever more extreme or "click-strong" videos. Safety is often just an afterthought filter placed over an open system.

"At Taley, safety is not a feature you have to search for in the settings. Safety is the foundation of our architecture."

The Solution: The "Walled Garden" Approach

Taley is a so-called "Walled Garden". There are no external links, no user uploads from strangers, and no uncontrolled feed. Your child moves in a space that we – and you – control.

🛡️ Deep Dive: The 3 Safety Layers of Taley AI

How do we ensure that an AI inventing stories freely remains child-appropriate? Through our proprietary Triple-Check System:

  1. Layer 1: The Prompt-Guard.
    Before the AI writes a word, the input (the child's wish) is checked. "Tell me something scary" is automatically converted to "Tell me an exciting, but funny adventure". Violence or fear themes are blocked immediately.
  2. Layer 2: Content Analysis.
    The generated text is checked in real-time against a strict database. Swear words, ambiguous terms, or aggressive language lead to immediate termination and regeneration.
  3. Layer 3: "Human-in-the-Loop" Training.
    Our AI models are regularly fine-tuned by educators. We do not evaluate stories by "clicks", but by "educational value".

Data Privacy: Your Children Are Not Products

In the digital age, data privacy is synonymous with child protection. Many "free" apps pay you with your child's data. At Taley, the business model is simple and honest: You pay for the service, we protect your privacy.

Our Data Privacy Guarantees

🇩🇪 Server Location Germany

All data (texts, audios, profiles) are stored encrypted on certified servers in Germany. There is no data transfer to unsafe third countries.

🎙️ Voice-Data Protection

If your child speaks to Taley, the audio file is only used for the second of conversion to text and then irrevocably deleted. We do not train AI with your child's voice.

🚫 No Ad-Tracking

There are no trackers from Facebook, Google, or advertising networks in our app. Your child does not become a profile for advertisers.

Psychological Safety: Protection from Addiction

Safety means not only protection from "bad content", but also protection from digital addiction. Apps that flash, reward, and demand "streaks" manipulate children's dopamine systems.

Taley is Audio-First. This means:

  • The screen can (and should) be turned off.
  • No visual stimuli overloading the brain.
  • A natural end: When the story is over, it is over. No "Autoplay" into infinity.

Common Questions about Safety

Does Taley listen to my child permanently?

No. The microphone is only active when the "Speak" button is pressed and held. There is no passive surveillance ("Always-on listening").

Are AI stories really safe?

Yes. Through our 3-stage filter technology and training on child-friendly datasets, the likelihood of unsuitable content is extremely minimized, far below the average of open platforms.
