What catalog information tells you
- Videos are grouped into educational themes and carry source video and channel information.
- Records can include age guidance, content ratings, availability and language or caption information. Some information may be unknown or out of date.
- The documented curation process uses AI-assisted ratings informed by video metadata and captions or transcripts when available. Some ratings are template-based. A missing transcript means less evidence, not a completed transcript review.
- A rating or timestamp does not prove that a named person watched the entire video. Full-video human or visual review has not been verified for every entry. Parents should preview content for their own children.
- Family settings and current availability determine access. Parents can block or report unsuitable, changed or mislabeled content; inclusion in the catalog is not a guarantee of suitability.
A channel listing does not establish individual human review of every video or approve future uploads.
What the parent controls
- Per-child interests, age fit, content limits, pacing, framing, screen-time budget, quiet hours, and autoplay.
- Curriculum mode highlights the current teaching theme. Family shelves and content rules determine the available choices.
- Individual video and whole-channel blocks, including a visible blocked list for undoing mistakes.
- A chronological viewing record showing viewing time and playback progress, not proof of learning or mastery.
- Kid requests, which a parent can approve from the existing catalog, redirect, defer, or send for curation.
Parent settings require account authentication and a parent PIN. The PIN reduces accidental child access; it is not a substitute for device security.
What we deliberately leave out
The app’s catalog interface has no open YouTube search, trending feed, public comments, follower count or engagement streak. YouTube’s embedded player has its own features and links. “Continue watching” and “watch again” are continuity tools based on the child’s own activity, not predictions designed to maximize watch time.
The honest YouTube boundary
The selected video may start when the player is ready. Next-video continuation is off by default; parents can turn it on in settings. Existing saved choices are kept. YouTube can show related videos and links; this app does not provide offline video downloads.
The web player uses YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed address with Yezbi playback controls. Native app privacy behavior still needs verification. Some entries use selected start and end times. The current controls, ending screens and mobile behavior still need provider and device review; this page does not certify compliance.
Ads may appear. Yezbi does not control ads served by YouTube and does not currently promise ad-free playback. Loading the player connects the device to YouTube under YouTube’s policies, even before you press a playback control.
Browsing can connect to an outside service before the player loads: video thumbnails load directly from YouTube’s image servers or the image provider listed in the catalog. Those requests share the device’s IP address and browser/request information. The privacy-enhanced player does not prevent thumbnail requests.
YouTube links or recommendations can leave the governed app session. Device and browser restrictions may help, but their behavior varies and can also prevent playback. Yezbi’s PIN and content rules do not lock the device. Check the actual child profile before handoff.
Privacy posture
Children do not create public accounts. A parent activates child devices. Yezbi records viewing events and progress for parent visibility, limits and continuity, and produces titled learning activity records, family usage summaries and service-wide video and theme statistics. Yezbi does not sell family or child information or use viewing history for targeted advertising.
The 90-day cleanup of raw playback events does not erase progress, titled activity records or usage summaries. There is currently no setting to turn off watch-history collection while continuing playback. Read the retention and parent choices in the privacy notice before handing over a device.
The complete public-launch privacy notice and consent flow are still pending qualified attorney review. This page describes product behavior; it is not a certification of COPPA compliance or safe-harbor membership. Read the current Privacy Notice draft.
When something looks wrong
Parents can save a video or channel block, which takes effect at the next access check, then use Send feedback or report a problem in Parent settings. Aggregated block and report signals help the curation team identify catalog items that deserve reevaluation, while recognizing that some blocks reflect a family’s individual preferences.
