Parenting in the digital age can be extremely challenging. Children and teens are increasingly vulnerable to online hazards that put our children and teens at high risk. CyberSafeFamily parental app puts a cost-effective tool in parents’ hands to help children use the internet productively. With the time scheduler feature, parents can control when, how long, and what apps and games their children are allowed to use. For example, if they want to block an app or a game, parents can select a range of times and days to block the apps/games. The app also gives the option for a fixed weekly schedule. This will enable a child to use digital access productively. We are working with reputed providers to filter inappropriate and adult content websites. Before giving access to a website, this feature checks a database with a list of unsuitable website URLs with a 90% accuracy. Monitor text messages, provide the child’s location, and gets alerts by setting parameter (Geo-fencing) around how far they can go, and also observe how safely their teenager is driving a car.
