Privacy for children and young people

Last updated: 28 September 2026

AYLEEN is a business unit of THE RED ROSE MEDIA LLC.

This page explains in plain language what AYLEEN does with the data of children and young people. Part A is for children aged 6 to 11, for reading aloud. Part B is for children and young people aged 12 to 15. Part C is for young people aged 16 and 17 in AYLEEN Next. The full Privacy Policy applies in the same way; everything is set out there in detail. At the very bottom you find what applies especially in your country. This English version is a translation; the German version is the original.

Which country counts? What counts is the country where you live — not which passport you have. For your account, that is the country your parents stated.

For parents


Part A · For children aged 6 to 11

To read aloud with your parents.

What is this about?

This says what AYLEEN knows about you and what happens with it. These things are called "data". Read it together with your mum, your dad or another person who looks after you.

AYLEEN is still being built. You cannot sign up yet. What it says here applies once it starts.

Who owns AYLEEN?

AYLEEN belongs to a company in the USA. It is called THE RED ROSE MEDIA LLC.

Who makes your account?

Your parents. Children cannot sign up to AYLEEN themselves.

Before you can use your account, two people at AYLEEN check:

These pictures are kept encrypted. After the check they are deleted. After 30 days at the latest they are gone. From the check, AYLEEN remembers your birthday, the result, who checked and when.

What does AYLEEN know about you?

For example:

AYLEEN does not store your internet address.

How do you sign in?

You do not need a password. Your parents connect your device with a code. They can sign your device out again at any time.

What do your parents decide?

Do your parents read your messages?

No. In the app your parents cannot read your messages.

Sometimes, though, your parents get a short notice. It never says what was written. There is a notice when

If you yourself write that you are not doing well or that someone is threatening you, your parents get no automatic notice. Then AYLEEN helps you, and a person at AYLEEN takes a look. Your parents only find out if you choose "Let my parents know".

Your parents can ask AYLEEN what AYLEEN has stored about you. Whether they also get your messages depends on the law. What applies in your country is at the very bottom.

Who reads your messages?

Nobody at AYLEEN just reads your messages.

AYLEEN has built a warning system. It is a computer program. It is meant to look at messages before they arrive — the messages to you and the ones you write. It looks for signs that someone wants to harm a child. For example, if someone wants photos, offers money, threatens or wants you to secretly switch to another app.

The warning system is still switched off. As long as it is off, you cannot write or receive messages on AYLEEN.

When it is on:

The program does not find everything. If something seems strange to you, tell your parents or get help.

What can you do yourself?

Getting help

If something scares you, tap "Help".

Where are your data?

Your data are with the company Cloudflare on computers in Europe. Cloudflare is a company from the USA, like the company that owns AYLEEN.

How long do your data stay?

What may you do?

You may — also together with your parents —

Write to us in the app under "Requests" or at hello@therose.media. Your parents do not find out. AYLEEN answers as quickly as possible. It costs nothing. Where you can complain if you think AYLEEN is doing something wrong is at the very bottom.

If AYLEEN has decided something against your account, we tell you why. You can appeal against it. Then another person takes another look.

Is there advertising?

No. Children never get advertising on AYLEEN.

What does AYLEEN store on your device?

When you turn 16

AYLEEN writes to you one month before. On your 16th birthday you move to AYLEEN Next. Your parents get a short notice about it. Your friendships stay.

Questions?

Ask your parents. Or write to us in the app under "Requests".


Part B · For children and young people aged 12 to 15

1 · What this is about

This says what data AYLEEN stores about you, for what purpose, for how long and what rights you have. The full Privacy Policy applies in the same way; everything is set out there in detail. What applies especially in your country is at the end of this page.

Today: Registration is still closed, child accounts are not yet enabled, and the warning system is switched off. What it says here applies once it starts.

2 · Who is responsible?

THE RED ROSE MEDIA LLC, 1621 Central Ave, Cheyenne, WY 82001, USA · Email: hello@therose.media. AYLEEN is a business unit of THE RED ROSE MEDIA LLC.

3 · Why your account goes through your parents

In the protected area (6 to 15 years), your parents create your account. You can only use it once two different people at AYLEEN have checked by hand who your parents are, how old you are and that your parents have parental responsibility.

AYLEEN always involves your parents until your 16th birthday, no matter which country you live in. What the law of your country says about this is at the end of this page.

4 · Which data, for what

DataFrom whereFor what
Name, username, country, language, time zonefrom your parentsyour account; rules matching age and country

Warning entries (without text), cases, evidence, restrictionsfrom the warning system and from people at AYLEENprotection against cybergrooming (section 8)
Reports, help requests, appealsfrom you or from othershelp, review by people
Requests: your questions and requests about your data (text up to 4,000 characters)from youhandling your requests (section 16)

Messages from AYLEENfrom AYLEENinformation; you cannot reply; AYLEEN never asks in them for passwords or data
Log: what happened in your account and what staff did — never message textfrom AYLEENproof, security, finding errors

AYLEEN does not store your internet address (IP address). To stop someone from trying codes as often as they like, AYLEEN counts attempts only with an encrypted identifier of your connection and deletes the counter after its time window ends in the next hourly run.

5 · Sign-in without a password

Your parents create a connection code (also as a QR code). It is valid for 10 minutes and only once. Your device opens it, your parents confirm on their device. If another device tries to use the same code again, AYLEEN blocks this connection, and your parents get a security notice. Your parents can sign your device out at any time; then you are signed out there immediately.

6 · What your parents see — and what not

Your parents see in the parents' area: your name, username, country, language, age, whether the checks are complete, your devices, which functions are switched on, your family bridges (name and username of the adult) and open connection codes. Until you are 13, they also see every friend request with the name and username of the other child and decide on it.

Your parents do not see in the parents' area: your messages, your help requests, your requests and your appeals. Your parents can, however, ask AYLEEN which data AYLEEN has stored about you. Whether they also get your messages depends on the law and on your age; what applies in your country is at the end of this page.

Notices to your parents — always without content. Your parents get a notice when

Only a parent registered as having parental responsibility for you gets a notice — and never a parent who is involved in a case or suspected. If you yourself write that you are in a serious emergency, your parents get no automatic notice (section 8).

7 · Messages and friendships

8 · The warning system

When it runs. The warning system is switched off. As long as it is off in your country, you cannot send or receive messages. It will only be switched on once AYLEEN has assessed the consequences for data protection in writing, the legal basis is settled and the data protection supervisory authority has been asked beforehand where the law requires it. Only two people together can switch it on.

What it then does. Before delivery, a program checks every message involving a person under 18 for patterns that can indicate cybergrooming — for example the request to switch to another app, demands for pictures, offers of money or gifts, threats or age statements that do not match the verified age. It takes the context into account: how big the age gap is, whether you have been connected for less than 14 days, whether there were already warnings in this conversation in the last 7 days, whether there is already a confirmed case or a restriction against the sending person and whether they triggered warnings with at least 3 different minors in 7 days.

LevelWhat you seeWhat happens to the sending personPeople at AYLEEN
1nothing; only an entry without text——
2message with warning; block, report, help—review from 3 warnings in 7 days
3message held back, notice24 hours: messages to minors only after reviewreview with high priority; encrypted evidence
4held back, help viewcontact with minors blocked, without a fixed end, until people decideimmediate review; evidence; your parents get a notice without content

9 · Reporting

You can report a person or a message. The reported person never finds out who reported. AYLEEN stores who reported so that you can see the status of your report, plus reason, free text (up to 2,000 characters) and status. For a reported message, AYLEEN keeps it and up to 20 messages before it from the last 7 days encrypted as evidence.

10 · AYLEEN HELP

11 · Reports to authorities

If AYLEEN learns of a suspicion of a crime that endangers the life or safety of a person, AYLEEN informs the police or the judicial authorities insofar as the law requires or permits it. As a company in the USA, AYLEEN also reports child sexual abuse material to a reporting centre in the USA (NCMEC), insofar as US law requires. At AYLEEN, every such report needs two people.

12 · Does a computer decide about you?

Today AYLEEN makes no automatic decisions because the warning system is off. When it is on, it only takes provisional steps automatically: delivering a message with a warning, holding back a message, provisionally restricting the sending person. Blocking an account, informing an authority and checking IDs are always done by people.

You can appeal against any decision concerning your account: in the app under "Decisions and appeals", free of charge and up to six months after the decision. The reasons are there too. The appeal is decided by a person who was not involved in the first decision. Your parents learn nothing about your appeal.

13 · Where your data are

AYLEEN is run by a company in the USA. AYLEEN stores data with the company Cloudflare, also a US company. The database and file storage are set up so that they run and store in the EU. The programs that access them may, however, run anywhere in the world, and the data travel over Cloudflare's worldwide network. Details are in the full Privacy Policy.

14 · How long AYLEEN stores your data

DataHow long
ID card, proof of birth, proof of parental responsibilitydeleted immediately after the decision, otherwise at the latest after 30 days
Date of birth and check resultthe check is valid for 2 years; deleted when your parents delete your account

Connection codevalid for 10 minutes; entry deleted after 30 days
Counters against too many attemptsafter the end of the time window in the next hourly run

Evidence90 days, after a report to authorities at least 365 days; deleted only when the case is closed
Help requests and reports365 days after the case was closed
Notices to your parents, your devicesuntil your account is deleted
Cases, restrictions, appeals, requests, friendships, blocks, permissions, parental responsibility, logno fixed maximum period has been set yet; AYLEEN currently does not delete them automatically. AYLEEN will set maximum periods before child accounts are enabled. You can request deletion (section 16)

Deleted database entries can still be technically restored at the database service for up to 30 days; AYLEEN does this only after a technical fault.

15 · Deleting your account

Only your parents can delete your account. Then your sign-ins are ended immediately, your devices signed out, the connection codes deleted, your friendships ended, your family bridges and permissions revoked and your name and username removed. Shortly afterwards your proofs, the notices to your parents, the messages from AYLEEN, your date of birth and the check result are deleted; your sent messages are deleted by the next hourly run.

What remains nevertheless: an account entry without a name, the entries about your parents' parental responsibility and about the permissions (as ended), blocks, a note that the deletion is done, the log and everything that belongs to a case, until its period ends. If a case is still open, the deletion is scheduled and carried out as soon as the case is closed.

You yourself can write to us at any time, also if you want data to be deleted: in the app under "Requests" or at hello@therose.media. Your parents learn nothing about it.

16 · Your rights

You can ask AYLEEN for:

How to make a request: In the app under "Requests" you can make a request about your data yourself (access, rectification, restriction, portability, objection). Only you and the AYLEEN team see your request. Your parents can also make requests for you. AYLEEN answers as quickly as possible, and it costs nothing. Which of these rights the law of your country gives you, the longest AYLEEN may take to answer and where you can complain is at the end of this page.

17 · Advertising

Under 18, AYLEEN never shows you advertising and builds no advertising profile. AYLEEN only sends you messages about AYLEEN itself, for example the note about AYLEEN Next one month before your 16th birthday.

18 · What AYLEEN stores on your device

WhatContentHow long
Sign-in cookiea random value so that your device stays signed in (AYLEEN stores only a hash of it)30 days from pairing; then your parents connect your device again

Program files of the appso that the app starts quickly; never your messagesuntil the next version or until you delete the site data

AYLEEN uses no analytics, advertising or tracking services. You can delete this in your browser settings ("Delete site data"); after that your parents must connect your device again.

19 · What does not exist yet

Photos, videos, voice messages, calls, LIVE, groups and translation are not yet in operation. Before any of these functions starts, this policy will be supplemented.

20 · At 16: AYLEEN Next

What applies especially in your country

The section for your country follows: emergency number, what the law says about children, your rights and where you can complain.

What applies especially in your country: European Union and European Economic Area

Emergency number: In all EU countries you reach the emergency services on 112, free of charge. For Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway the number is in the next section.

What the law says: In the EU there is a law about data, the GDPR. Under it you may consent yourself to an online service from 16; below that your parents must consent or agree. Every country may lower this limit, but not below 13. Which limit applies in which country is in a table in the full Privacy Policy. AYLEEN always involves your parents until your 16th birthday, even if the limit in your country is lower.

Your rights: You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, a copy of your data, objection and withdrawal of consent. You can have data deleted even when you are an adult. AYLEEN replies at the latest after one month. Only if it is necessary because of many or difficult requests may it take up to two months longer; then AYLEEN tells you why within the first month. It costs nothing.

Objection: If AYLEEN processes data because AYLEEN has a legitimate interest in it, you can object at any time if you have a special reason. AYLEEN then stops, unless there are compelling reasons that are more important or the data are needed for legal proceedings. How it works: in the app under "Requests" → "Objection to processing" or at hello@therose.media.

Your parents and your messages: If your parents ask AYLEEN about your data, AYLEEN also looks after your rights. They only get your messages, help requests, requests and appeals if you agree or a law requires it. If you are under 13, a US law (COPPA) also applies at AYLEEN that gives parents a right to see their child's data. Then AYLEEN decides case by case and looks after you.

Complaint: You can complain to the data protection supervisory authority in the country where you live. Which one that is, is in a table in the full Privacy Policy. You can also go to court.

Does a computer decide about you? By law you have the right not to be subject to a decision made only by a computer that significantly affects you. Such decisions should not concern children.

Germany

  • In Germany the limit is 16. Until then your parents must consent if an online service needs your consent. AYLEEN always asks your parents until your 16th birthday anyway.
  • You can complain to the data protection authority of your federal state. Which one that is, is in a list in the full Privacy Policy.
  • Emergency number: 112.

Austria

  • In Austria you may consent yourself from the age of 14 if an online service needs your consent. AYLEEN nevertheless always asks your parents until your 16th birthday.
  • You can complain to the Austrian Data Protection Authority (dsb.gv.at/).
  • Emergency number: 112.

Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway

  • Emergency number: In Iceland 112. In Liechtenstein 112 (Euro emergency number), police 117, ambulance 144. In Norway police 112, ambulance and medical emergency 113, fire 110.
  • The age limit of your country is in the table in the full Privacy Policy. AYLEEN always asks your parents until your 16th birthday.

What applies especially in your country: Switzerland

Emergency number: European emergency number 112, police 117, ambulance 144. For children and young people there is the helpline 147 of Pro Juventute, around the clock, free of charge and confidential.

What the law says: In Switzerland there is no fixed age from which you may consent yourself to an online service. It depends on whether you understand what it is about ("capable of judgement"). Anyone capable of judgement can exercise rights that belong to them as a person themselves. AYLEEN nevertheless always involves your parents until your 16th birthday.

Your rights: You can ask for information about your data. AYLEEN usually replies within 30 days, free of charge. You can request that wrong data be corrected and data be deleted, and get a copy of your data.

Your parents and your messages: If your parents ask about your data, AYLEEN also looks after your rights. They only get your messages if you agree or a law requires it. If you are under 13, a US law (COPPA) also applies at AYLEEN that gives parents a right to see their child's data. Then AYLEEN decides case by case and looks after you.

Complaint: You can contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC): www.edoeb.admin.ch.

What applies especially in your country: United Kingdom

Emergency number: 999 or 112. Help for children and young people: Childline 0800 1111, around the clock, free of charge.

What the law says: In the United Kingdom you may consent yourself to an online service from 13 if the service needs your consent. AYLEEN nevertheless always asks your parents until your 16th birthday. Under the British law on online safety you are a child until 18; that is why AYLEEN also protects you especially at 16 and 17.

Your rights: You can ask for information about your data, have wrong data corrected and have data deleted. AYLEEN replies at the latest after one month, free of charge. If AYLEEN needs longer, AYLEEN tells you why within the first month.

Your parents and your messages: If your parents ask about your data, AYLEEN also looks after your rights. They only get your messages if you agree or a law requires it. If you are under 13, a US law (COPPA) also applies at AYLEEN that gives parents a right to see their child's data. Then AYLEEN decides case by case and looks after you.

Complaint: Write to AYLEEN first ("Requests"). AYLEEN confirms within 30 days that your complaint has arrived. You can also contact the UK data protection regulator: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.

What applies especially in your country: USA

Emergency number: 911. If you are feeling very bad: 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), around the clock. In case of abuse: Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-422-4453. You can report pictures of sexual abuse to the CyberTipline: CyberTipline.org.

What the law says: In the USA there is a law for children under 13 (COPPA). If you are under 13, your parents must agree before AYLEEN collects data from you. Your parents may then ask to see everything AYLEEN has stored from you, including your messages, and may ask AYLEEN to delete it. Some states give parents more rights for older children too, for example to see their child's messages. AYLEEN always asks your parents until your 16th birthday.

Your rights: You can ask AYLEEN what AYLEEN knows about you, say if something is wrong and ask for data to be deleted. AYLEEN usually replies within 30 days, free of charge.

Today: In the USA you cannot sign up to AYLEEN yet.

What applies especially in your country: AYLEEN is not yet available in your country

AYLEEN is not yet available in your country. You cannot sign up. If something scares you or you are in danger, call the emergency number in your country or get an adult you trust straight away.

The German version is authoritative.
