- Submitting sexual, violent, hateful, self-harm, extremist or otherwise harmful content.
- Entering another person's personal information, or a child's full name, address, school or contact details.

- Sharing one account across multiple families, or exceeding the child profiles on your plan.
How we enforce it
Every tutor request passes through topic, age-appropriateness and anti-answer checks before and after AI generation. Off-topic or unsafe requests are declined and redirected to the writing task. Requests that ask the tutor to produce the student's work are answered with a question or a worked example on a different text, never the student's own sentences. Repeated or serious breaches may result in suspension.
Reporting
If the tutor produces something inappropriate, report it to safety@ownmark.com.au with the date, child profile and what happened. We review every report.
