## What is Shaka Surf?

Shaka Surf is the safe web browser for kids. It is the browser your kid actually uses on their iPhone or iPad, built for kids from the first tap and designed to grow with them: it opens up a little more each time they show you they are ready.

Shaka is two apps, one family. Kids get Shaka Surf. Parents and guardians (we call you lifeguards) get Shaka Safe, the app that pairs with it and shows you where your kid surfed and what got flagged. Setup takes about two minutes: download Shaka Safe, set up a profile for each kid, and pair this app with a wave code.

FOUR AGE LEVELS, NOT ONE AGE SETTING
Pick the level that fits your kid, and move them up when you both feel ready.
• Pip (often 1 to 4): a cove of allowed sites picked for little kids, plus the ones you add. No search, no address bar, one tab.
• Squid (often 5 to 9): allowed sites, one tab at a time, and search with safe search forced on. Kids can open a result, and Wave Watch™ reads whatever is there.
• Grom (often 10 to 14): the open internet behind both safety layers, with social media closed. A covered page says why, with a button to ask you.
• Charger (15 and up): open water with a lifeguard who talks. Wave Watch™ warns more than it covers.

TWO SAFETY LAYERS ON EVERY PAGE
• No-Surf Zones close whole sites: adult content, gambling, scams, drugs, vaping, piracy and more, at every age level, plus any site you close yourself.
• Wave Watch™ reads every page as it loads, right on the device, and scores it for adult content, violence, drugs and alcohol, gambling, hate and bullying, and self-harm. A page past the line is covered before your kid sees it; a borderline page gets a heads-up. Adult content is covered at every age level, no exceptions. For Groms and Chargers, you set how strict each topic is from Shaka Safe.
• Safe search is always on, at every level.

ASK TO SURF HERE
A wall teaches a kid to find a way around it. In Shaka Surf a blocked site comes with "Ask to surf here": the request lands on your phone, and you can open it up once, for an hour, or for good.

NOTHING HAPPENS IN SECRET
There is no private browsing and no incognito mode. History can't be cleared, and your kid sees the same timeline you do, flags and all. The first screen your kid ever sees explains exactly what their lifeguard can see.

MADE TO BE THEIR BROWSER
• Fast and clean, built on WebKit, the engine behind Safari.
• A Home screen of favorites your kid curates, with looks and app icons they pick themselves.
• Tabs (we call them waves) when the age level allows them.
• Can be set as the default browser on iPhone and iPad.

PRIVACY FIRST
Shaka Surf contains no ads, no in-app purchases and no third-party analytics or advertising software. It talks only to Shaka's own servers and Apple's notification service. Parents can review, delete, or stop the collection of their kid's information at any time from Shaka Safe. The full policy is at shakasafe.com/privacy.

Shaka Surf needs a parent or guardian with Shaka Safe to set it up. Shaka is family owned and self-funded, made in California, and available in the United States.
