About this APK

Canopy Shield is an app by Canopy-app in the Parenting category, listed since at least December 2020. It includes native code only for x86 64-bit, so it won't install on ordinary ARM phones (only on x86 devices such as emulators and some Chromebooks).

Since version 41.66, the minimum Android version rose from 5.0 to 7.0. It asks for 39 permissions, 9 of them sensitive, including precise location, location in the background and record audio. It asks for the same permissions as version 44.78. The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play and can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.

Over 100,000 families already trust our technology to keep pornography out of their digital experience. Canopy protects families from online pornography by stopping exposure before it happens. Whenever your child surfs the web or uses their favorite apps, Canopy’s advanced artificial intelligence system works seamlessly in the background to inspect the images, videos, and websites they encounter. When it detects pornography, Canopy intercepts and removes it before your child ever sees it. And that’s only the beginning. Here’s how Canopy can help you protect your family: ✓ Real-time Smart Filter Harness the power of artificial intelligence to seamlessly remove pornographic content from websites and apps in milliseconds, giving your child a healthy, positive digital experience. Even better, our AI doesn’t block safe content – get the good without the bad! ✓ Sexting Prevention Monitors the camera on your child’s device, prevents them from sharing inappropriate photos, and notifies you immediately if a risky photo is detected ✓ Removal Alerts Receive quick, helpful notifications if your child tries to remove or disable Canopy ✓ Website Management Create a customized list of blocked or allowed websites to personalize your child’s online experience ✓ Screen Time Management Set DownTime for the protected device to limit internet use at specific times. . ✓ Location Awareness Keep up with your child no matter where life takes them using a detailed real-time GPS map ✓ App Management Encourage your child to spend time wisely by blocking distracting apps and games ✓ Easy Monitoring Receive convenient notifications about your child’s online activity and adjust their Canopy settings from your personal device using the main Canopy app or Canopy web dashboard Canopy works with Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices.

Permissions: • This app uses Accessibility services to build an excellent device experience that helps users with behavioral disabilities set appropriate levels of access and monitoring of screen time, web content and apps, in order to limit their risks and enjoy life normally. Be assured that the monitoring is private and no 3rd parties will be aware of it. • Draw Over Other Apps: This app uses this permission to draw block screens on top of apps you choose to block. • Usage Access: This app uses this permission to detect which application is opened so we have a suit filtration in it. • This app uses the Device Administrator permission (BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN) in order to allow parents to enable uninstall protection and prevent their children from uninstalling the app without their knowledge and consent. Please note that this is an optional functionality as per user requirement. WE DO NOT ENABLE THIS FEATURE BY DEFAULT. You will always be able to uninstall the application: on the app's home page - click on "Uninstall application", submit your password (if required) - and the application will be removed. • When a child uses our app, VPNservice will be used so that relevant content the child tries to access will first securely pass through the filters in our remote servers. We can then determine whether or not the content is inappropriate and should be blocked.
