Policies & Rules

A policy is a named collection of rules assigned to a child. Policies have a status (draft, active, or paused) and a priority number for ordering when multiple policies exist.

A rule belongs to a policy and controls one of 45 rule categories -- from content ratings and screen time limits to privacy settings and algorithmic safety controls. Each rule has:

  • category -- Which of the 45 categories it controls (e.g., time_daily_limit, content_rating)
  • enabled -- Whether this rule is active
  • config -- Category-specific configuration JSON (e.g., {"minutes": 90} for screen time)

You can create rules manually or use generate-from-age to auto-populate all 45 categories with age-appropriate defaults. The 45 categories span content, time, purchase, social, web, privacy, monitoring, algorithmic safety, notifications, advertising, compliance, and legislation-driven controls.

Only active policies are enforced. You can have multiple policies per child (e.g., "School Day" and "Weekend") and switch between them using activate/pause.
