Tater Family
You don't need to watch every message. You need to know when something dangerous is happening.
Tater gives your parent plain-English warnings in the moment and helps bring you into the high-risk situations that may need a second pair of eyes.
Early access
The problem
Scams work when someone is isolated, rushed, or embarrassed. That is not a character flaw — it is how manipulation works.
- Mom calls after she has already been talking to someone for several days.
- Dad forwards a suspicious email after he already clicked the link.
- A parent buys gift cards before asking whether the request was real.
- Someone shares financial information because the message felt urgent and official.

Early accessWhat guardians can see and do
Guardians do not need access to someone’s entire inbox to help. Tater surfaces the orange and red moments that may need attention.
Each guardian alert includes
- Risk level (orange or red)
- Sender
- Subject
- Reason Tater flagged it
- Attempted action — clicked, replied, downloaded, called, or tried to send sensitive info
- Optional full message — only if the protected user chooses to share it
Red risk2 min ago
From: Bank Security <security-notice@paypa1-secure.net>
Subject: URGENT — Verify your account within 24 hours
Why flagged: Sender domain doesn’t match the real bank. Message creates urgency and asks for account details.
Attempted action: Tried to reply with account information
Guardian can respond with
Looks SafeDon't RespondCall MeI'll Handle ThisStart Recovery StepsMark as False Alarm
Full message sharing is always optional and controlled by the protected user — never automatic.
Helping someone stay safe should not require reading their entire inbox.
Full message content is not automatically shared with guardians.

LockdownEarly access
Don't let me handle high-risk financial messages alone.

- Best after a recent scam scare or for highly vulnerable users
Guard Level is a protective setting — not a way to control someone. The protected person stays in charge of their inbox.
