Disclaimer: Caribu was built to be safe and secure for families and trusted contacts. Adults set up the Caribu account and add other trusted family members so that their kids can do an activity in a video-call with a trusted adult. We expect that every account created is created by an adult and those two adults are known to each other before a child engages in a Caribu Call. We expect that all organizations have done extensive background checks and fingerprinting to ensure the safety of children in Caribu Calls. We cannot take on liability for any callers, participants, or content of calls, and we disclaim any third party claims or issues. We implore you to ensure that you have the strictest protections in place before using Caribu to create your program virtually, as you should when you use Caribu for any purpose. Please use your own discretion in offering our program to chosen readers and participants, and take all possible precautions to keep your children and families safe.
