OpenHI Ethical Charter

Because emotional intelligence deserves humane technology.

At OpenHI, we believe in technology that honors the human spirit.

Our Ethical Charter is our living promise to students, educators, and families: to build with care, design with transparency, and uplift every learner’s unique inner journey.

✨ Our Commitments

Child-Centered Design
We create with the child’s emotional and developmental needs at the core—never to manipulate or exploit attention.

Emotional Safety First
We design for emotional attunement, never shame. All feedback is reflective, growth-oriented, and trauma-informed.

Educator + Parent Partnership
OpenHI works best when it works together. Parents and teachers are invited into the loop, not left outside of it.

Privacy as a Principle
We protect personal data like we would our own—with end-to-end encryption, no third-party sales, and clear, transparent policies.

No Surveillance, Ever
We don’t track, score, or monitor behavior to penalize. Our goal is understanding, not discipline.

Transparent Innovation
We welcome dialogue, audits, and co-creation with communities we serve. We believe ethical design is a conversation.

Human-Guided AI
Our AI companion, supports growth—but never replaces the wisdom of human teachers, counselors, or parents.

Equity & Accessibility
We are committed to cultural humility, inclusive content, and support for neurodiverse learners and diverse communities.

How we uphold this.
