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:

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.
