How family information is separated, shared and kept under the family’s control.
Keep it practicalUse a clear, proportionate routine and review it when circumstances change.
Start with the purpose
Each family setup uses its own iCloud space, helping keep child profiles, device relationships and family information separate from other families.
Build a clear record
Only collect and share information needed for the feature. Review who can access the parent device and protect it with a strong device passcode.
Use the information carefully
Location and activity deserve particular care because they can reveal routines. Discuss their use and avoid unnecessary exports or screenshots.
Review and respond
Before removing the app or changing accounts, review recovery and device-unpairing guidance so protection and family records are handled deliberately.
