ChildOnlineSafety Documentation

Welcome to the documentation for ChildOnlineSafety — an AI-powered platform that helps parents monitor and protect their children’s online activity.

What is ChildOnlineSafety?

ChildOnlineSafety is a monitoring platform that captures screenshots from your children’s devices, analyses them using AI for harmful content, and sends you alerts when something concerning is detected. You stay informed without having to look over your child’s shoulder.

Key Features

  • AI-Powered Analysis — Screenshots are automatically analysed by AI to detect harmful content across 10 categories including cyberbullying, grooming, violence, and age-inappropriate material.
  • Age-Aware Detection — The AI adjusts its sensitivity based on your child’s age group (5–8, 9–12, 13–16). A social media app is flagged for a 6-year-old but not for a 15-year-old.
  • Smart Alerts — Get immediate email alerts for serious threats and a daily digest summarising all activity. No alert fatigue — the system deduplicates and prioritises.
  • Customisable Policies — Define what matters for each child. Create rules by category, set severity levels, and assign policies per child or as a family default.
  • Family Accounts — Invite partners, co-parents, or guardians. Each member gets their own login with role-based access (admin, parent, viewer).
  • Encrypted & Private — Screenshots are encrypted end-to-end (AES-256-GCM) and stored with configurable retention periods. Privacy mode enables aggressive auto-deletion.

How It Works

  1. Install the agent on your child’s Windows device. It runs as a background service.
  2. Screenshots are captured every 30 seconds, encrypted, and uploaded securely.
  3. AI analyses each screenshot for harmful content, adjusted for the child’s age.
  4. You get alerts — immediate emails for serious threats, a daily digest for everything else.
  5. Review and respond in the parent portal — acknowledge, dismiss, or resolve alerts.
