FAQ

To whom UuLApp is addressed?

UuLApp addresses to children from 6 years (first grade) to 18 years old.

 

Do we need such a system in the ages between 6-12?

At this point we want to be crystal clear that we believe our kids must play in the yards with their friends and not play in front of a screen every day.

And as parents we do our best towards this direction.

But we cannot turn our back to reality since there are already out there plenty of apps and messengers for these ages and many others will follow!

Many times our kids play network games and talk to other users. How sure we can be if tomorrow morning our kid will be approached by an adult who may think “weird” for our kid.

So please help us, because later on we might not have the chance to help our kids if they are already part of this way of living.

 

UuLApp Game ID

In order to help both game companies and our kids, we want to provide the companies with a way that kids can connect to their systems by using their UuLApp id.

This will confirm the age of each user and will give the companies the tools to manage better the users’ communication according to their age.

This will help them address to bigger audience and receive easier the necessary license for each age.

If companies know from the beginning each user’s age they can do the necessary changes in their design and sell the same game to different target groups based on age by just simplifying their graphics for younger kids.

 

UuLApp Alert

UuLApp alert was added to our plan when a friend's kid was lost.

Fortunately because of the quick reaction of the parents the child was found quickly.

This incident made us realize that sometimes kids are lost because they are upset with their parents or their friends and not only if something bad happens to them, like a kidnapping situation. So we design an alert system that will notify both kids(after parents approval) and parents inside UulApp from the authorities in the area if an incident takes place.

Through our system we want to alert at the same time both older kids and parents because we believe that kids hang out in areas where adults do not know or won't search and that by itself will be a great benefit to the research of a missing child.

Of course the broadness of the alert system can change as the research goes on.

Finally both UuLApp alert and UuLApp Informe, have as a starting point the local authorities and not the UuLApp team.

 

UuLApp Informe

This summer we experienced as a family in our vacation in Mati in Greece a very difficult situation. A deadly forest fire occurred in the specific area and our family was saved by a miracle at the last moment.

The biggest problem was that we had no early warning.

This experience forced us to understand that we must add to our system an alert that will warn both parents and kids globally for any future natural disaster event.

Through our system we want to provide a tool first to authorities for having an additional alert for people and secondly a tool to all of us for informing other users inside UuLApp about incidents around the world.

Of course in order this information to be displayed has to be confirmed first by more than 5 different users. This system will change dynamically by each user’s preferences and criteria based on: areas, countries etc.

We want to clarify that both alert systems will be used only to assist the authorities and not to obstruct their work or any involved parties.

 

How could a kid register in UuLApp?

In UuLApp only schools could register a child!

The school will create a student list which will include age, education grade and finally parent’s e-mail (after parents’ consent).Each student of the above list will be matched by us with a unique ID.

The student’s list will be kept in UuLApp’s system encrypted.

The full list will be kept only by the school and no copy of this student’s list will be kept from us. We will only keep the unique id of every kid. 

Student’s registration by the school practically guarantees that no adult except for the school’s administration has the right to create an account in UuLApp’s system.

After the completion of this process, the accounts of the users included in the system, are inactive.

The registration will be available in the system for 3 months in order to be completed from each kid's parent. After this period the registrations will not be accessible but they can be regenerated from the school .After the period of 4 months if there are some students that will not complete their registration they will be deleted permanently and their re-registration will be completed by the school itself step by step from the beginning.

UuLApp is a system designed by people who are first of all parents and for this reason the registration of students by the school might not be enough. In order a child to complete the registration process in the system, we will certainly need the consent of the legal guardian of each child.

And how we will do that?

After the registration of all children in UuLApp by the school, an e-mail (the one that the school provides us) will be sent to each parent (guardian) in order to accept the child's final integration into the system and complete his / her own personal registration in UuLApp’s system. This will give to parents the ability to have access to the child's account but also to communicate with the teachers of the school. In the near future parents could attend to adult seminars related to child, connecting other services (automatic updates, news or feeds such as UuLApp alert, UuLApp informe etc.)

 

Can I register my kid if my kid's school doesn’t accept or delays the registration in UuLApp?

Yes, if a school will delay register and doesn’t have access to UuLApp‘s platform, alternatively parents will be able to register their kids.

However, all the accounts created from parents without school’s consent, will be completely disconnected from the other UuLApp’s accounts, they will have no ability to communicate with other users, they will not be searchable, they will not give access to kids to participate in team courses but they can be used for the UuLApp’s e-learning services. In any other case UuLApp cannot ensure the exclusive communication among children without the school’s consent.

It’s up to us as parents to add UuLApp into our world educational system and guarantee a secure communication to our kids.

 

Who can teach or add lessons inside UuLApp?

UuLApp is mainly designed for children but is mostly designed to educate students. We want all the known e-learning platforms to be inside but under a strictly framework regulation, UuLApp has basic rules in how and who can add lessons in its system. You must be a teacher with license to teach or you must represent an educational sector if you want your courses to be included in UuLApp. The question is: how UuLApp can check if a license is legal in all countries? The truth is that at the moment we can't check if the license is legal in every state or country but we can confirm if one is submitted. In any case we can ensure you that we will try to find a way in future to make the proper confirmation always with the cooperation of the authorities and all the involved organizations.

The only thing UuLApp can promise is when we realize that a teacher or an educational organization doesn’t have the permission to teach will be excluded from our system . As a penalty they will have to return the fees of all the active courses + 50%.

 

NGO

In general, NGO’s for kids are more than welcome to UuLApp. Any non-profit usage of UuLApp platform is provided totally free for the benefit of the children.

In the next phase of UuLApp we hope this can be accomplished earlier if NGO's support us and register in UuLApp to help more children online. We think in the near future that through UuLApp children will be able to have psychological support from professionals, willing to offer their services. As a result, children could solve easily any daily problems or even more serious cases of internal family violence etc.

This communication will be provided totally free always with the support of all the non-profit organizations and other government sectors that already provide these services in order to accomplish our final goal to create one united global system that will provide support to all the children of the world 24/7. Through this system children could easily get help in real time from professionals. The system will first run in English but in future version of UuLApp an automatic translation system will be included that will let children chat with professionals in their native language. With the additional features of the automatic translation and due to the big difference between the time zone of each country, we hope to have soon enough 24/7 support for all the children.

All conversations between kids and professionals will stay totally private and anonymous. In future version, in order professionals to provide better support to the children, we will include the ability for pros to take a look at previous conversations of each child. The professional will keep no other personal data of the kid and to make sure that this will be kept safe we first notify the kid with a message before the beginning of the session that he must give no personal data. If by any chance we find out that an NGO obstructs that she will lose the access to the devices of UuLApp.

The time that we will keep history records of these sessions is not at the moment clear. Of course this is something that is not in our fist developing priorities but will take place in the future. Last but not least all NGO’s will have the right to upload freely any lesson with non-profit character or they can upload other profitable webinars or other lessons under special prices.

 

UuLApp training system changes dynamically

Inside our training system, a child will get help in every action he makes. Our dynamic system will change, based on the familiarity of the user and that means that help messages will disappear as the user learns how to use UuLApp properly.

For example when the kid is trying to upload a picture, a balloon will come up with the following message :  ‘’If you upload your photo here, this file, as well as all the files you upload, will be stored somewhere in the providing company’s servers (computers) and probably afterwards some people from the company  will have access to them. And do not forget, that if this file or any of the uploaded files are searchable or public, other users can copy them and change them by using a photo editor in a way that might not be proper for you”.

This kind of help we believe that every platform and app must provide and this is something that UuLApp will ensure.

 

NGO Purpose

We will provide our e-learning platform free and all the above benefits to every NGO worldwide for their nonprofit actions.

And as a reward to this enormous service that we provide,  NGO have to provide a service of psychological support to kids through UuLApp.

This will help us reach our goal and have at the end a 24/7 psychological support system for all the children of the world.

 

We need your help to spread the word for our project that will help all the kids worldwide to feel safer online!
