We are happy today to announce that  KIDO’Z  has joined  the Intel® Software Partner Program, a set of premium Intel services to help partners expand their sales, reach and increase customer confidence through Intel® Certified Solutions Program.

Being an Intel Software Partner increases the credibility of KIDO’Z and adds a certification to the commitment to quality which we have.

The collaboration with Intel offers us incredible advantages including  access to unique powerful tools that we use to innovate and optimise our solution and make the KIDO’Z platform even better.

Despite all its enormous benefits, the Internet does pose a security and privacy threat to all kids of all ages if they are not protected and are not able to surf in a safe environment. In addition to ensuring that kids use only kid-safe internet software, the only way to become fully informed of kids’ online activity and preferences, is for parents to make use of monitoring tools.

According to a survey conducted by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Cox Communications, approximately only 50% of the parents surveyed were monitoring their children’s internet activity on a daily or weekly basis. The remaining 50% of the parents claimed not to have or were unsure if they have monitoring software on their computer(s).

With KIDO’Z, kids are not only protected in a kid-friendly, secure environment, but parents are also able to track their kids’ Internet usage with KIDO’Z STATISTICS.

KIDO’Z STATISTICS gives parents detailed usage reports of their child’s KIDO’Z usage.

These usage reports show:

• Daily Time Spent on KIDO’Z
• Favorite Tools
• Usage Pattern per day
• Most Popular Content

KIDO’Z STATISTICS is easily accessed by parents through the KIDO’Z Parental Control Account by clicking on the STATISTICS tab, and is available only to KIDO’Z PLUS users.

Here is a quick video tutorial showing How to Access KIDO’Z STATISTICS:

To have full access to this useful tool, you can easily become a KIDO’Z PLUS user by upgrading through your Parental Control Account.

Have a good week!
