Can I limit how much time my child spends online?
Yes. You can set time limits on a child's daily Internet use, overall Internet access time limit,
and time limits for individual apps, websites, and categories. Different time limits can be
selected for weekdays and the weekend.
Time limits can be set from no time limit to 12 hours in 15-minute increments. The maximum
time limit that can be set for individual apps, websites, and categories depends on whether a
total Internet time limit is set. For example, if you set the total Internet time limit at four
hours, the time limit for an individual app, website, or category cannot exceed four hours.
The total Internet time limit takes priority over time limits set for individual apps, websites, or
categories. For example, if time limits for the Internet and Netflix are both set at four hours,
Netflix will be blocked if the child’s total Internet usage reaches four hours before the child
has spent four hours on Netflix.
Can I prevent my child from accessing the Internet at certain times?
Secure Family's Parental Controls include several features for controlling Internet access on a
child's device:
• You can block Internet access during the hours set as the child's bedtime (for example,
from 9:00 PM until 7:00 AM).
• You can block Internet access during scheduled off time periods during the day, such
as a homework, music lesson or family dinner time.
• You can block the Internet instantly whenever you want to quickly block Internet
access. For example, a parent may decide to block the Internet for a child until they
clean their room or do their homework.
Note: Blocking Internet access does not prevent your child from using apps that have been
downloaded to their device and are being run offline (non-Internet based apps).
Can I prevent my child from making online purchases with their device?
You can set the App Stores & Downloads category in your child's filter permissions to Not
Allowed. This filter blocks access to sites dedicated to the purchase of apps, such as the App
Store and Play Store, and sites dedicated to the download of other software.
You can also add a custom filter for a specific website and set that website to Not Allowed.
