Help from HAB is free. Always.

No fees, paid memberships, purchases, or payment pages. You do not need a single penny to get help from HAB.

When a feature needs information, we ask only for the minimum needed to make that feature work. Our approach is to collect and retain only what the feature needs—not to build a detailed profile of you or your child. Hosting and security services may retain technical logs, such as IP addresses.
