FAMILY / SHARED DEVICES

A Shared-Device AI-History Check Without the Surveillance Framing.

When a family shares a device, an AI assistant's history can hold everyone's conversations. The check reviews it together, openly — not by snooping behind anyone's back.

Why openness beats snooping

Covert surveillance breaks trust and teaches the person being watched to hide more. An open review — done together, on a schedule, for everyone's privacy — protects the whole household without turning one member into a suspect.

The practical goals are shared: clear old conversations that hold private detail, sign out of accounts that should not be linked, and agree on who uses the assistant and under what rules.

The protocol

  1. Do the review together, not behind anyone's back — name the schedule in advance.
  2. Look at what the AI history holds: conversations, account links, and saved detail.
  3. Clear what should be cleared, and sign out of accounts that should not be linked.
  4. Agree on the rules going forward: who uses the assistant, and what stays out of it.

What the tool does

Build an open household review checklist for a shared device's AI history. It runs in this browser; nothing is sent or stored.

Limit first: This is a household-privacy aid, not security software and not a substitute for open conversation. It works only if it is done together, not in secret.

One human next step

Run the review together on a schedule. Agree on the account rules, and keep the checklist where everyone can see it.

Research log and safety checks

AI-assist path: not applicable — the review is a household act of openness; adding a model to read everyone's history would be the surveillance the tool exists to avoid. §6.10: not a frontier-pace topic.

§0.5 protection result: category is family-teen-safety; crisis-adjacent: no; fear/urgency/scarcity toolkit used: no. The protective function is free and the paid feature is convenience only.
