1. About Protect Kids

Protect Kids consists of two companion applications:

• Protect Kids Parent – used by parents to configure parental controls and monitor the child's device.

• Protect Kids Kid – installed on the child's device to enforce parental controls configured by the parent.

The applications are designed to work together and are intended to be installed and configured by a parent or legal guardian.
