Technology guidance built around families
Family Tech Clinic is a free educational project created to make digital safety understandable across generations—from a child’s first shared tablet to an aging parent facing a convincing scam.
People before controls
Safety guidance should strengthen trust, confidence, and communication—not encourage secret surveillance or shame.
Evidence with context
We favor primary sources and established public-interest organizations, distinguish allegations from findings, and show when guidance was reviewed.
Independent recommendations
Family Tech Clinic has no ads, affiliate links, sponsorships, or paid product placements. Product prices and features can change, so provider pages remain authoritative.
Data minimization
Your Family Tech Plan is stored only in your browser. Community submissions are sent to Base44 for human review and should never include identifying information about a child.
How content is maintained
- Prefer current government, platform, academic, and nonprofit primary sources.
- Label opinion, reported allegations, and unresolved litigation clearly.
- Recheck fast-changing settings, products, links, and prices on a regular schedule.
- Correct material errors promptly and avoid sensational examples that do not improve the recommended action.
Privacy and limitations
The public guides do not require an account. The Family Tech Plan uses local browser storage and is not synced to Family Tech Clinic. Approved community posts are public; pending submissions are visible only to site administrators.
No newsletter information is currently collected. Base44 may process basic operational information required to host and protect the site. External resources have their own privacy practices.
This site provides general education, not legal, medical, mental-health, financial, or emergency services. Product settings and laws change; verify important actions with the provider or an appropriate professional.
