Are my chats really private?
Your chats are private, and we work hard to keep them that way. If we think you may be in immediate danger, we may share limited information to help keep you safe.
Private. For real.
Your chats stay between you and Sonar. Parents don't see them.
What if I need to talk rn?
Before school, after practice, or late at night, you can access Sonar anytime from your preferred device. No appointments or scheduling so you always have someone who listens.
