Data & sharing
You decide who sees what. Always.
Sharing is one of the most important parts of Underneath, and one of the most carefully designed. Here's how it works, and how you stay in charge.

The parent is always the gatekeeper
Only the adult who created a child profile can share that child's check-ins. Nothing is shared automatically. Nothing is shared without a clear, deliberate action from you.
How sharing works
- You generate a unique sharing code from inside the app.
- You give that code to a person you trust, a teacher, SENCO, therapist, family-support worker, or CAMHS clinician.
- They enter the code in their own Underneath account to see what you've shared.
- You can revoke a code at any time. Revoked codes stop working immediately.
Consent, in plain language
By generating and sharing a code, you confirm that:
- You have the right to share information about the child on the profile.
- You understand the professional will see check-ins, notes and patterns you've recorded.
- You can withdraw consent at any time by revoking the code.
What professionals can and can't do
- They can view the check-ins and reflections you've shared.
- They cannot edit your records or delete your data.
- They cannot share what they see with other people inside Underneath.
- Outside the app, professionals must follow their own safeguarding and information-governance duties.
Children's voices
Where a child is old enough to understand, we encourage you to talk with them about what you're sharing, with whom, and why. Underneath works best as a conversation with your child, not about them.
Questions, concerns or a safeguarding worry? We'd rather hear from you than not. Reach us any time at hello@underneathapp.com.
