AI, Data & Privacy
Mixed - some data on-device, some in cloud
This robot uses a hybrid approach where some data is processed locally on the device and some is sent to cloud servers. The level of EU data protection depends on what data stays local versus what is transmitted. Sensitive data like camera feeds may be processed on-device while usage analytics go to the cloud. Review the manufacturer's privacy policy for specifics on what data goes where.
How to keep it private
Miko requires a steady internet connection (1-2 Mbps) for conversational AI features. However, some games work offline after an initial login. When AI conversation is toggled off, structured content (stories, math exercises, quizzes, music, and movement activities) still works. The robot cannot function fully without internet.
Available privacy controls
Parents can completely disable conversational AI features via the Miko Parents App. Future units ship with AI conversation defaulting to OFF
Parents can disable the camera via the Miko Parents App dashboard
Parents can disable the microphone via the Miko Parents App dashboard
Set daily time limits for robot interaction through parental controls
Activate bedtime mode to prevent late-night interaction
Parents can view detailed child usage reports in the app
Complete device reset and data deletion available through the Parents App
Third-party certified for child privacy compliance with annual security audits
Toggle AI conversation to OFF in the Miko Parents App for maximum privacy while still retaining structured educational content. Disable the camera and microphone when not in use. Miko states it does not store or disperse personal, voice, or visual data. Review the usage reports regularly. The robot is COPPA certified and undergoes annual third-party security audits, which provides stronger privacy guarantees than most children's robots.

Miko states it does not store or disperse personal, voice, or visual data. Conversational AI model designed specifically for young users. Annual third-party AI safety evaluations, security audits, and privacy compliance reviews. ON/OFF toggle for AI conversation features added in 2026.
