For teens, 13 to 17: What your parents see, and what they never do
Wondering what your parents can see? Fair question. Well Mentored sends a short text on the days you choose, written by AI for people your age. Here is who sees what, and how to stop it any time.
Your parents
Who sees what
A parent can see
- The reflections you get and the week's theme.
- Whether you've joined.
- Whether your reflections are coming, paused or stopped, but never why.
- Your length and faith settings, to look at only. You choose them.
- Your first name and your themes, in the account holder's email every three months. Nothing else about you.
A parent never sees
- Your journal, or its PIN.
- Your thumbs up or down on anything in the app.
- Anything you text us. Nobody reads it.
In the app, open Settings, then Privacy, to see what your parents can see.
Good to know
Your journal, STOP, and your texts
Your journal is yours
Only you can open it, and you can lock it with a PIN. Your parents can't open it or reset its lock, and nobody at Well Mentored reads journals. It's stored encrypted. The law makes one exception, a court order, and the Privacy Policy for teens explains it.
STOP stops everything
Text STOP and the texts to your phone stop right away. Nobody here will be upset with you. The parent who signed you up is told your messages stopped, never why.
Nobody reads your texts
If you text us, no person and no AI reads it, and its words are never kept. The number acts only on a few fixed words, like STOP, START, HELP, YES and PAUSE. Anything else gets the same automatic reply.
Written by AI
Your reflections are written by AI, not by a person, and each one is checked for safety before it is sent. AI can still get things wrong. If something doesn't sound right, trust yourself and check with a person you trust.
The details

The Privacy Policy for teens is our Privacy Policy in short, plain words. The full Privacy Policy is the one that counts.
