Lighthouse Online Child Safety

This is the Child Companion app to the Lighthouse Online Guardian Parental app, the parental app is required to complete the service.

The Lighthouse Online Guardian app blocks images, videos and websites that you deem inappropriate across mobile browsers and the web, ensuring that your children stick to the bright side of the internet.

*— How it works —*

1. Download the parental app, link your child’s device using the child app, and set the rules.

2. Lighthouse monitors your child’s activity in the background while they discover.

3. We notify you when necessary, and allow you to view reports on your child’s activity in the app.

*— Lighthouse’s Key features —*

*You’ve set the rules, we’ll enforce them.*
Your guidelines and our strict filters ensure that your child doesn’t stumble upon the sinister corners of the web. Our technology blocks images and content from websites before they even get to browse them.

*We’ll Keep You in the Loop.*
You may receive an alert from us once in a while, depending on your settings. We can notify you when your child is trying to access a flagged site, or when your child requests permission to see blocked content. We will also provide in app reports of your child’s online activity.

*Internet usage on your terms.*
Control internet access by time and day through the internet schedule tool.

*— FAQs —*

*Why use Lighthouse?*

The Internet is crammed with opportunities for learning, but in just a few clicks, kids can stray into more sinister domains. Lighthouse is a great way to give your child the freedom to discover, but at the same time steer clear of inappropriate content and unsafe online spaces.

*Does Lighthouse only work when browsing the web?*

No, that’s what sets us apart from other blockers. Lighthouse is also able to moderate and block images and content within apps. There are however some apps which are encrypted, and we are unable to censor these because of the way the security of the app is set up. These apps include WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. We are actively working on increasing the number of apps Lighthouse will work with.

*My child uses my phone/ tablet, can I still use Lighthouse?*

Yes, you can. When setting up your child’s profile, you are able to specify whether the child will be using your device, or a device of their own.

*Does the Lighthouse app use data while running in the background?*

While monitoring in the background, the Lighthouse app will not use any additional data on the parent’s device or child’s device.

*Can my child disable the app on their phone?*

If the app is disabled or tampered with in any way you will receive a notification via the parental app indicating that the status of the connection with your child’s device has been altered.

*Am I able to decide what my child sees, and what they don’t?*

Yes, Lighthouse allows you to adjust the filter level from low to high, setting the filters according to what you think is inappropriate. We also notify you when your child is requesting permission to see a blocked image or site. You can view the blocked content first from the parent app, and make the call whether or not they should be permitted access.
