Safe by design
SkillCount is built for children, so safety isn't a setting — it's the default. Here's exactly how we keep the environment closed, calm and focused on learning.
No ads, ever
Children never see advertising, sponsored content, or third-party marketing. Our only revenue is a straightforward parent subscription.
No chat or social features
There is no open messaging, no user-to-user contact, no public profiles and no comments. A child cannot be contacted by strangers through SkillCount.
Human-reviewed content
Practice questions are reviewed and approved by a person before any child sees them. AI-drafted questions stay in a pending queue until a reviewer approves them.
Parent-managed accounts
A parent or teacher creates and controls each child's login. Students sign in with a username and a PIN — no email or public account required.
Data minimisation
We collect only what's needed to run practice and show progress. We never sell personal data, and a child's name is never sent to third-party AI services.
Focused, age-appropriate
The whole environment is built around NAPLAN-style practice for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 — no external links, feeds, or content that pulls a child away from learning.
How AI is used — and how it isn't
AI helps our team draftpractice questions and write plain-English progress summaries for parents. Every AI-drafted question is held for human review before it can appear to a child. Progress summaries are generated from anonymised performance data — scores and skill tags — and a child's name is never sent to a third-party AI service. Children do not chat with an AI, and there is no open-ended AI conversation anywhere in the product.
What parents control
Parents create each child's login, can see their activity and progress, and can request that their data be exported or deleted at any time. Because students sign in with a username and PIN set by the parent, there's no public-facing account for a child and nothing for a stranger to find.
