🔒 PERMISSIONS & HOW SENTINELKIDS USES THEM
SentinelKids uses certain Android features to provide parental-control protection. All of these are enabled with the parent or guardian's authorization during setup:

Accessibility Service: Used — with the parent or guardian's authorization — to deliver SentinelKids' core child-safety features:
• Enforcing parent-set app blocks and screen-time limits by detecting which app is currently open.
• Reading on-screen content and browser web addresses (www.sentinelkids.com) to filter and block harmful or inappropriate websites and content in real time.
• Displaying screen-time reminders and safety alerts.
• Tamper protection — preventing a child from disabling monitoring, uninstalling the app, or changing protected settings without parental approval.
The Accessibility Service is used only for these child-safety purposes and for no other reason.

VPN Service: SentinelKids creates a local, on-device VPN connection to filter web and app traffic and block inappropriate content. This VPN runs only on the device for content filtering; it does not route activity through an external server for any other purpose, and it does not redirect or manipulate traffic for advertising.

Location: With parental setup, the app shares the child device's location (including in the background) with the linked parent's device only, so a parent or guardian can see where the child is. Location is not used for advertising.

📱 REQUIRES SENTINELKIDS PARENT APP
This app works together with the SentinelKids Parent App. Both apps must be installed and paired for full functionality.
