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

Needs internet
Offline

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.

Privacy tip

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.
