Yes, bondu requires a stable Wi-Fi connection to chat, play and learn. However, you can use a phone hotspot to play with bondu anywhere.
Yes, parents have full control over their child’s personal information and chat history in the bondu app. There you will be able to review, manage, or delete your child’s chats, history and/or personal information at any time with ease.
The privacy and security of you and your child’s information are our top priority. We use industry-standard safeguards such as encryption and secure authentication to protect your account. Access to any personal data is strictly limited to authorized core team members who need it to support your experience.
bondu only listens and responds when it’s turned on and in awake mode, so every interaction is intentional.
- Sleep Mode: After 5 minutes with no activity, bondu goes into sleep mode. Once asleep, bondu can only be reactivated with a wake word.
Auto Shut-Off: After 10 minutes of inactivity, bondu powers down completely. To play again, simply press the button on the base, to turn it back on.
Conversations are never shared or sold. Data is stored securely to ensure bondu is learning and growing alongside your child. Through the app, you can review or delete any data at any time.
