Problem
Parents struggle to enforce consistent digital boundaries for their children across multiple devices, leading to exposure to inappropriate online content, uncontrolled screen time, and uncertainty about the child’s location, while also fearing violations of the child’s privacy.
Solution
Kidgonet delivers a cross‑device parental control platform that lets families set age‑appropriate web filters, define screen‑time limits, and schedule usage pauses from a single web‑based portal. The Android app runs in the background on each child’s smartphone or tablet, enforcing the policies in real time and reporting usage metrics back to the portal. Integrated GPS tracking provides live location visibility, and an SOS button links directly to the Nummer‑gegen‑Kummer support service. All data are stored locally on the device and transmitted securely without sharing personal information with third parties, ensuring privacy while maintaining comprehensive oversight.
Target Audience
Parents of children aged 0‑15 who use Android smartphones or tablets and need unified control over multiple devices; also families seeking privacy‑preserving digital safety tools.
