We all know that as a parent, it is not easy to set the boundaries for your child – that also holds true for the online world. Don’t worry, you are not alone in this: did you know that 9 out of 10 parents think that their children aren’t ready to explore all mobile apps and websites? (Survey conducted by ESET in 2015).

Our goal is to give you the confidence to safeguard you children when using smartphones and tablets in this enticing digital era.

PROTECTING KIDS ON THE WEB
✓ List of most visited domains - Shows you the top visited websites
✓ Web Guard - Simply enter the child’s age, and categories such as gambling and pornography are blocked automatically
✓ Monitoring-only Mode for Websites - Gives you the option not to block content right away

LEARN WHAT APPS ARE KIDS USING AND WHEN
✓ Application Guard - Blocking — Provides you with extra peace of mind by showing suitable apps for your children based on the Google Play content rating
✓ Time-based App Control— Allows you to set maximum usage time for the given day or to prevent access to certain categories during school or bed time
✓ Monitoring-only Mode for Apps — Oversee which apps your child uses without blocking access to them
✓ Wearables Support — Respond to all notifications directly from your wrist.

CHILD-FRIENDLY COMMUNICATION
✓ Child-centered Interface and Communication — Our child-friendly interface uses respectful tone and each time explains to your kid what is happening and why
✓ Unblock Request — Because good parenting is a two-way street, if a website or an app is blocked, your or maximum daily time budget is over, kid can send you a request to unblock it. It will arrive in your inbox, as a notification on my.eset.com, on your smartphone, tablet or smart watch.

REACH YOUR KIDS ANY TIME
✓ Child Locator — Not sure of their whereabouts? Find your kid’s location from anywhere via my.eset.com, or directly from your smartphone or tablet

WHY IS THE RATING SO LOW?
We know, that there is always something to improve, but please notice that our app might be rated by kids as well and we have to concede that not all of them are always happy that our app filters what they may find interesting content, but happens not to be right for them.
