Trust & Safety

Clarity, control, and safer ways to communicate.

Zuko is designed to give families a more structured place to manage co-parenting information while keeping account access, shared workspaces, reporting tools, and account controls clear.

Privacy at a glance

Your workspace is yours to control.

Zuko separates personal account information from shared co-parenting workspaces. People only see the workspaces, connections, and information they are invited to access.

Controlled workspace access

Shared information is organized around the relevant family workspace and approved participants, rather than placed in one open shared feed.

App lock and biometrics

App lock and biometric unlock can help protect access when a phone is shared, unattended, or returned to after time away.

Private records by default

Personal accountability records remain for your own reference unless you choose to include them in a report or export.

Reporting and blocking tools

Report a concerning message for review or block direct messaging when you need more control over communication.

Clear account-closure controls

Account closure has a visible cancellation window, with clear information about shared records and information that may need to remain.

AI assistance remains optional

AI-assisted messaging can support clearer wording, but you decide whether to use a suggestion and what is ultimately sent.

When communication becomes unsafe

Use the controls that fit the situation.

Zuko includes reporting and direct-message blocking tools for situations where communication becomes inappropriate or concerning. These tools do not replace emergency services, legal advice, therapy, or crisis support.

  • Report a received message for Zuko Safety review.
  • Block direct messaging while shared parenting records remain available.
  • Contact local emergency services if someone is in immediate danger.

Common privacy and safety questions

Know what is private, what is shared, and what each control does.

These answers describe how access and communication controls work inside Zuko. For the full data-handling terms, read the Privacy Policy.

Who can see information in my Zuko workspace?

Shared workspace information is available only to the approved participants connected to that workspace. A Zuko account does not provide access to unrelated families, workspaces or records.

Can my co-parent see my accountability records?

No. Accountability records are creator-scoped and are not shown to the connected co-parent. You decide whether to include relevant private records in a report or export and what you do with the resulting file.

What happens when I block direct messaging?

Blocking stops new direct messages between the connected parents. Existing messages and shared parenting records remain available so the history and other coordinated workflows are not erased.

What happens after I report a message?

The report and the information needed to review it are made available to authorized Zuko safety personnel. Reporting does not notify emergency services and does not replace urgent safety, legal or professional support.

Can a therapist, lawyer or social worker see my workspace?

Not automatically. A professional does not receive access simply because they work with a parent or family. Users control permitted access and what they choose to share outside Zuko.

Does Zuko’s AI send or change my messages automatically?

No. AI assistance can suggest clearer or more neutral wording, but you decide whether to use a suggestion, edit it or send the message.

What happens to information when I close my account?

Account closure removes normal account access after the applicable cancellation period. Some shared records or limited information may be retained where necessary to preserve workspace integrity, meet legal obligations, prevent fraud, maintain safety or support backups and recovery.

Trust through control

More structure without giving up control.
