Privacy and safeguards
What Lumi records, what it never records, and who can see a child's information.
Lumi is a pilot on a test server
Lumi is a prototype. It currently runs on a test server while we learn how it works in practice. Please don't enter real personal information about children.
What Lumi never does
- It never uses the camera. Lumi takes no photos or video.
- It never uses the microphone. Lumi makes no sound recordings. The voice the child hears is pre-recorded and only plays out.
- It doesn't diagnose. Reports describe how a child played. Conclusions are for qualified professionals.
What Lumi records
During a session Lumi records what happens in the game:
- touches: where and when the child touches the screen;
- timings: how long the child takes to respond, and how long each island lasts;
- choices: which answers, items or options the child picks;
- rests and check-ins: when the child chose to rest, and their “battery” answers;
- the assessor's notes: session context and time-stamped observation tags added on the live monitor.
Who can see reports
Reports are only visible to assessors who are signed in to the Lumi portal. They aren't public, and they can't be seen from the child's tablet.
The professional who ran the session is responsible for how the report is used and shared as part of their assessment, following their own organisation's policies.
Safeguards for the child
- A rest button is always on the child's screen, and the child doesn't need to ask to use it.
- Lumi asks the child how their “battery” feels, so tiredness is noticed and recorded.
- There are no right or wrong answers, no scores on the child's screen, and no time pressure shown to the child.
- Instructions are recorded, so every child hears the same calm, clear words.
- An adult is with the child throughout.
