Question 1

What does my kid share on Grove?

Accepted Answer

A first name, last initial, grade, and the interests they pick. Never a full name, never a photo, never contact info.

Question 2

Can I see what my kid sees on Grove?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Grove has no hidden corners. The polls, results, and forest your kid sees are the same ones you see.

Question 3

Will my kid feel watched on Grove?

Accepted Answer

That is exactly what Grove is designed to avoid. Nothing here is framed as monitoring: no dashboards, no alerts, no behavior reports. Your kid gets a game about becoming themselves.

Question 4

Can other kids contact my kid on Grove?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no DMs, no comments about classmates, and no way to find or follow a specific kid. Those aren't missing features, they're the design.

Question 5

Is Grove affiliated with our school?

Accepted Answer

No. Grove is in private testing in Orange County and isn't affiliated with any school.

Question 6

How does Grove make money?

Accepted Answer

Kids never pay and there are no ads and no data selling, ever. Parents can pay for extras like a printed yearbook of their kid's forest.
