What child-time can — and can't — see
Updated:
Parental control should be something you can explain to your child. Here's exactly what child-time collects, what it doesn't, and what your child sees on their side.
What it collects
- App names and minutes — which program was in the foreground and for how long.
- Your rules — limits, sleep-mode hours, app pauses, tasks.
- Chat messages between you and your child, and “more time” requests.
- Task photos — only if a task asks for a photo and your child attaches one.
- Screenshots — only if you turn them on (off by default). Your child is notified about each one.
What it never collects
- Window titles, websites visited, page contents or search history
- Keystrokes, passwords or messages in other apps
- Camera, microphone or location
What your child sees
- A timer with the time left today, and warnings at 15, 5 and 1 minute
- The time's-up screen with the reason, and a button to earn more time
- Your messages, their tasks, rewards and class schedule
- A notification whenever a screenshot is taken
