Gleam's Terms Of Use

Gleam Parenting Terms of Use

Welcome to the website (https://www.togleam.com/) (the “Site”) and the app of Gleam Parenting (together with its subdomains, Content, Marks and services, the “Services”). Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the Services so that you are aware of your legal rights and obligations with respect to Gleam Modern Parenting Solutions, Inc. ("Gleam", "we", "our" or "us"). By accessing or using the Services, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you are entering a legal agreement with us and have understood and agree to comply with, and be legally bound by, these Terms of Use (your end-user license agreement with us), together with the Privacy Policy (the "Terms"). You hereby waive any applicable rights to require an original (non-electronic) signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, to the extent not prohibited under applicable law. If you do not agree to be bound by the Terms please do not access or use the Services.

1. Background. The Gleam Service is designed to address a concern about excessive and low-quality screen time for your children while allowing you and your children to enjoy the benefits of interacting with the many educational and children-friendly sites accessible via the internet. It features a user-friendly dashboard that provides valuable insights for parents at every stage of your child's online exploration. You can easily monitor your child's activities, be it learning, playing, or otherwise. To encourage desired behaviors, you can also incentivize your child to engage in defined categories of pastimes. The Gleam Service is designed to help you set ground rules and guide your child’s experience as they explore online. Your child will become part of your Gleam family group, which you can use to share the Gleam Service with your child. You’ll be able to add another parent later to help supervise your child’s account. Parents can use Gleam to do things like:

  • Set screen time limits on your child’s Android devices;
  • Help your child choose the types of activity that can be saved in their Gleam Account and how it may be used to personalize their experience;
  • Define activities (offline and online) that let your child earn screen time 
  • The app displays the child's weekly screen time usage, indicating how much time was spent on different customizable categories of activities.

All of the above and additional functionality of the App, as it is enhanced over time, is referred to herein as the “Services”. These Terms of Use should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, , which is available here: https://www.togleam.com/privacypolicy.

While Gleam's parental controls can help you supervise and manage your child's experience, there are limitations that you should keep in mind:

  • you’ll need the Gleam Parent app on your iOS or Android device to manage all features like screen time earning activities.
  • At present, the Gleam Parent app to be installed on your child's device works only if s/he uses an Android device.
  • Parental approval is not required when your child re-downloads an app or other content that was previously approved, installs an update to an app (even an update that adds content or asks for additional data or permissions), or downloads shared content from your family library.
  • Some Gleam features have limited availability and require specific settings and circumstances in order to work. For example, blocking apps is only available when your child is signed in to a compatible Android device (Apple iOS in development),
  • We do not track the location of your child's device.

The following is a table that sets forth a list of the various permissions in your child’s device that you, as parent, will be given the option to set and what your control of such settings achieves:

2. Modification. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change these Terms at any time.
