Internet Family Safety - Making the Wild-Wild Web Safe For Kids

Are you concerned about Children Internet Safety and Online Identity Theft?

The Family Safety software application, by Parent Approval LLC, uses a Patent pending concept of local-authentication of webforms. It creates opportunities of child-parent conversations as opposed to spying over own children using monitoring softwares. Thus it enhances family bonding and mutual trust by providing the solution in form of real-time Parent Approval:
  • Approve before your children login or register to a website.
  • Approval for all outgoing sensitive personal information.
The Family Safety program is an application to prevent inadvertent release of sensitive personal information (such as passwords, SSN etc.) by any internet user of the family computer. The Family Safety program is easy to setup and requires passworded approval for the personal information sent to websites that are not on a pre-selected list.

Answers to Internet Reviews:
1. Killer Startups
Concern: The problem with ParentApproval is that it requires parents to still be vigilant. They’ll have to enter the password each time their kid wants to get into a site. Will parents find this to be too much of a hassle? How will this software compare to other child oriented safety apps?
Answer: Yes, we believe that Parents be vigilant when kids are trying to register or login to unapproved website. But it is not true that it is a hassle. If parents find a website appropriate and approve it forever by adding in trusted website list, no password will be asked for this website in future. It is true that it is not a full-fledged product at this point of time. We want to have community opinion on our unique approach toward Internet Family Safety. The uniqueness lies in the monitoring and filtering "outgoing" web traffic. All existing child safety softwares monitor and filter only "incoming" web traffic.
