Guidance for your family, not rules for it

Guidance, not a guarantee

Reports draw on detailed information about each title, and they can still make mistakes. You know your child best, and the final decision is always yours.

Your values, your call

We describe what’s in a title plainly and neutrally. We don’t tell you what to allow. We give you the context to decide.

We never sell your data

Your searches and your family’s details stay private. You can delete your account and its data at any time.

Questions parents ask

Does Parent Brief treat these themes as warnings?

No. Identity, religion and culture are not treated as safety risks. We describe what’s in a title objectively so each family can make decisions based on its own values.

Which types of media does it cover?

Books, movies, TV shows and video games. Themes are covered in the same report you get for any title.

Can I ask about a specific theme?

Yes. Add your question when you search, for example about a particular theme, and the report will address it.
