Walkthrough
- Open Settings → Privacy → Child Protection.
- Set the tree-level policy. Three choices:
- Close relatives only (default) — parents, grandparents, siblings, and a small auto-derived inner circle. Most families pick this.
- All tree members — anyone you've invited to the tree can see the kid's photos.
- Allowlist only — you pick who can see each child, one person at a time.
- Override per child. From the child's profile, tap Edit protection to tighten or loosen the policy for that one person.
- Add a Protector. A Protector is a parent or guardian you grant tighter control to. From the child's profile, tap Add Protector and pick another tree member. Protectors can make a child's protection stricter than the tree-level setting, but never looser.
- Anyone outside the approved list sees a placeholder card on the child's profile and a small lock badge instead of the photo grid.
Why this exists
Rootkin treats kids' faces, full names, and birthplaces as data worth protecting by default — not as something to share by default. The whole tree should be one of the safer places your family's photos can live.
