How video checks work.

How video checks work.

How video checks work.

The extension first checks a video on your computer. When it cannot decide, it sends the video's title, description, captions and sampled frames to our servers, where automated systems, including AI models, assess them against our safety standards. The result is a decision to allow or block the video. No person at Zelophi reviews the videos your family watches.

YouTube data

YouTube data

We use YouTube video information only to make that decision. We delete it once the check is done, we never use it to train AI models, and we never sell or share it. Automated checks are not perfect: Zelophi may occasionally miss content or block content that is fine.

Children

Children

Zelophi accounts are for parents and guardians aged 18 or over. Children do not create accounts and we do not ask for a child's name, age, photo or contact details.

The extension checks the YouTube videos watched on the protected computer, which may be watched by a child. We use that information only to protect them, as described above. The protection records a parent sees show which videos were blocked and why, not a full viewing history.

If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
