As a parent, you have the right to limit the amount of time your child can use a computer.

So aktivieren Sie die End-zu-End-Verschlüsselung (E2EE)

Heute ist KidLogger die erste Lösung der Welt, die End-2-End-Verschlüsselung (E2EE) anbietet. Alle Daten, die von den Computern des Kindes erfasst werden, werden verschlüsselt und nur für den Kontoinhaber entschlüsselt. Die Aktivitätsdaten des Kindes, die von Endgeräten erfasst werden, werden vor dem Transfer zu unserem Cloud-Dienst verschlüsselt. Der Hauptunterschied zur SSL-Verschlüsselung besteht darin, dass die Daten beim Erreichen des KidLogger-Cloud-Speichers weiterhin verschlüsselt bleiben und auch in allen laufenden Instanzen der Datenbank, Ausführungskontexten und Verarbeitungsalgorithmen auf unseren Cloud-Servern verschlüsselt bleiben. Wenn Sie sich bei Ihrem Konto anmelden, werden die Daten im ursprünglichen verschlüsselten Format an den Webbrowser geliefert und dort mithilfe des Java-Script-Programms und der Verschlüsselungsfunktionen des Browsers on-the-fly entschlüsselt. Hier erklären wir, wie Sie die neue KidLogger-Agentensoftware aktualisieren oder installieren und die E2EE-Verschlüsselungsfunktion einrichten.

KidLogger Kid Safety agent for Android

We are glad to announce a new version of parental control application for Android that will work for both KidLogger and StaffCounter services. Due to the latest challenges in cyber-security landscape, user monitoring applications needs to be adapted to conform both regulatory compliance such as GDPR and vendor based Reputation, such as Microsoft PUA or Google Play Protect. 

The new application will not be hidden, but has the same features as hidden PRO version. The idea is to keep transparency and informs the phone user about the actions that are being monitored. In the taskbar, you can see the icon of the Application, that opens the info window with the actual supervision configuration from parents or company. We also are going to integrate mobile push notifications to keep track application activity from online service.
