Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Salfeld’s Child Control can provide safe filtered Internet with parental control features, once you activate the app with your account details from Salfeld. Child Control runs both on Android phones and tablets and filtering can be tuned from any PC with any OS connected to the Internet. The App can be used up to 30 days for free. After this period a licence is needed. See our homepage for more information. Important notes: This app uses the Device Administrator permission. This will prevent a user from uninstalling Salfeld Child Control App without your knowledge. Salfeld Child Control uses AccessibilityService API to collect data about websites viewed through browsers on your child's device. It is also used to prevent the child from removing permissions without a parent’s authentication. Optionally, the app uses the VpnService API to provide a system-wide web filter. This VPN mode works purely locally on the device and does not reroute personal data through external servers.
