What FamilyKeeper is
FamilyKeeper is a parental-control product for parents and legal guardians supervising children's internet use and online communications. It advertises real-time alerts for harmful content, online predators, and cyberbullying. Parents can block or monitor services and games including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Roblox, and Minecraft, and set app schedules or limits on phone-use duration. Activity reports and web protection are also listed. Location tools include tracking, virtual boundaries, and notifications when a child reaches a designated place. The terms list location, screen-time controls, and web protection on both iOS and Android; offensive-language detection is listed for Android only. Web filtering can block inappropriate websites and search results, while category filters may also block associated apps. The Android privacy policy says the application announces its presence to the child and expects them to know what information a parent or guardian can access. It also says unsafe-content alerts are encrypted in transit and their content is not accessible to or retained by the company. Support is listed at [email protected]. Monthly and yearly plans are listed, but no prices are provided.
