Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 17, 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Notice describes the types of information SafeNet Technology LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“SafeNet,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit safenettechnology.com (our “Website”) or use the SafeNet Technology mobile application, including its versions for Windows computers (our “App,” and together with the Website, the “Services”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. SafeNet provides software that lets parents control the apps and domains a child can access on the child’s phone or computer.
This Privacy Notice applies only to information we collect through the Services, including in communications between you and the Services such as email, text, chat, and other electronic messages, and the information the App collects from a Child’s device, described in Children’s Privacy. It does not apply to information collected by us offline or through any other means that does not link to this Privacy Notice, or by any third party, including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible from or through the Services. This exclusion does not apply to service providers that process Personal Information on our behalf and under our instructions, as described in Who We Disclose Your Personal Information To.
Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Services. This Privacy Notice describes SafeNet’s information practices; your use of the Services is governed by our Terms of Use, and your subscription to the Services is governed by our Subscription Agreement. This Privacy Notice may change from time to time (see Changes to This Privacy Notice). Please check this Privacy Notice periodically for updates.
We provide our Services for use only by persons located in the United States, and we make no claims that the Services or any of their content are accessible or appropriate outside of the United States. This Privacy Notice applies to residents of the United States.
Children’s Privacy
Our Services are built for parents. This section describes the information the App collects from the device of the minor whose use the parent manages, how we use and disclose that information, how we obtain the parent’s consent to collect it, and the rights the Parent has over it.
Who Uses the Services
The account holder for the Services must be a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years old (the “Parent”). The minor whose device the App manages is referred to in this Privacy Notice as a “Child.” A Child is not an account holder. A Child cannot register for the Services, cannot hold an account, and cannot change the controls the Parent sets. The Parent creates the account, installs the App on the Child’s device, pairs that device with the Parent’s account, and configures the controls that apply to that device.
Downloading and Pairing the App
The App for Android and Windows devices is downloaded from our Website. When the App is downloaded from our Website, we collect the IP address of the device that makes the download. When the App is downloaded from the Apple App Store, Apple processes information related to the download under Apple’s own privacy policy. SafeNet receives only the information Apple makes available to developers through App Store services and analytics.
We use the IP address collected with a download to deliver the App, and we use that IP address to secure the Services and to prevent fraud. We may combine that IP address with other information we hold about the Parent’s account for those purposes. We do not use App Store download information to contact a child, build a child profile, or serve advertising. We do not use the information Apple makes available to developers through App Store services and analytics for any other purpose. To keep the IP address and App Store download information to those uses, we limit who can access it and delete it as described in Retention of a Child’s Information. We do not disclose that information except to service providers that help us deliver and secure the Services, and except where the law requires it. Our Website analytics, described under Automated Collection Technologies, run on the pages used to download the App, as they do on the rest of our Website.
After the App is installed, it collects no information from the device until the Parent pairs the device with the Parent’s account by entering the pairing key the Parent obtains through the Website, except that, before pairing, the App on an Android or Windows device may contact our servers to check for updates to the App. That contact sends us the device’s IP address and basic technical information needed to check for an update, such as the App version, and we use it only to determine whether an update is available and to deliver it. Updates to the App on Apple devices are delivered by Apple through the App Store. The collection described under Information We Collect From a Child’s Device begins only after pairing.
Information We Collect From a Child’s Device
To deliver the parental controls the Parent configures, the App collects the following from the Child’s device:
- Device identifiers and device information, including a device identifier, device model, operating system version, App version, and connection status.
- The applications installed on the device and information about their use, including which applications are opened and for how long.
- The web domains the device attempts to reach and whether access to each was allowed or blocked under the Parent’s settings or under restrictions we apply to all accounts. We configure the Child’s device to use our encrypted DNS filtering service, so each request the device makes to reach a domain is sent to infrastructure we manage, where we check the domain name against the Parent’s settings and against certain services we restrict for all accounts, which a Parent’s settings cannot override. Our filtering service evaluates domain names. It does not read the content of the Child’s communications or the content of the web pages the Child visits. We may keep a limited record of filtering events, such as the blocked domain, the device or profile identifier, the reason for the block, and the time, to provide parental-control reporting and to handle requests for access to a blocked domain. In this Privacy Notice, references to information the App collects from a Child’s device include information our DNS filtering service receives from that device.
- Screen-time totals and rule-enforcement events, such as a time limit reached, a schedule applied, or a request blocked.
- The Child’s name or nickname and age, as the Parent enters them when setting up the Child’s profile.
- Whether the App remains installed and active on the device, and records of when the App was installed on the device and when it was deactivated, so that we can notify the Parent as described under Deactivating or Removing the App.
The Services do not enable a Child to make personal information publicly available.
The App does not collect precise geolocation, the content of the Child’s messages, photographs, contacts or call logs, audio recordings or voice data, or biometric or health information from the Child’s device.
How We Use a Child’s Information
We use the information we collect from a Child’s device only to provide the parental controls and reporting the Parent has configured, to operate, secure, support, and troubleshoot the Services, and as the Parent directs through the App’s settings. The App collects only the information reasonably necessary for the Parent’s chosen controls and the operation of the Services, and nothing more. We do not use a Child’s information for advertising or marketing, we do not use it to build a profile of the Child beyond the reports the Parent has configured, and we do not sell it. We do not disclose a Child’s information to third parties other than service providers that host our systems and support the operation of the Services, which process it on our behalf and under our instructions. We also disclose a Child’s information where the law requires it.
We collect persistent identifiers from a Child’s device to operate the App on that device. We use them to identify the device to the Parent’s account, apply the Parent’s settings, secure the Services, and diagnose problems. We do not use a persistent identifier collected from a Child’s device to contact the Child.
Parental Consent
We obtain verifiable parental consent before the App collects any information from a Child’s device, other than the update check described under Downloading and Pairing the App. We obtain that consent by requiring the Parent, in connection with the Parent’s subscription, to use a credit card, debit card, or other online payment system that provides notification of each discrete transaction to the primary account holder, including when the Parent provides a payment method to begin a free trial. Apart from that update check, the App collects no information from a Child’s device until the Parent pairs the device, and we make the pairing key available to the Parent only after the Parent has given that consent.
We obtain separate verifiable parental consent before disclosing a Child’s information for any purpose that is not integral to providing the Services. We rely on verifiable parental consent for all information the App collects from a Child’s device after pairing. We do not seek parental consent for the IP address collected with a download from our Website or the information the App sends with an update check before pairing, because we collect and use that information only to support the internal operations of the Services, as described under Downloading and Pairing the App. App Store download information is handled by Apple under Apple’s own privacy practices and is not collected from a Child’s device by SafeNet.
Parental Rights
A Parent may at any time ask to see the information collected from the Child’s device, ask us to delete it, and tell us to stop collecting or using it. A Parent may also ask us to describe the categories of information we collect from a Child’s device. To make any of these requests, contact us at wecare@safenettechnology.com, by mail at SafeNet Technology LLC, 513 Ragersville Road NW, Sugarcreek, Ohio 44681, or by phone at 234-354-2029. We do not charge for these requests, and we will respond within thirty (30) days of receiving one. Before we act on a request, we verify that the requester is the Parent by confirming the credentials for the account and, where applicable, the payment method on file. If a Parent tells us to stop collecting or using a Child’s information, we may be unable to provide the Services for that Child’s device. Closing the account or removing the Child’s profile deletes the Child’s information, subject to Retention of a Child’s Information below.
Retention of a Child’s Information
We retain the information we collect from a Child’s device only as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the specific purpose for which we collected it, and we do not retain it indefinitely. This section is our written data retention policy for a Child’s information. We collect a Child’s information only for the purposes described in How We Use a Child’s Information and, for the IP address collected with a download from our Website and the information the App sends with an update check before pairing, the purposes described under Downloading and Pairing the App. We need to retain a Child’s information only to provide the controls and reporting the Parent has chosen and to operate, secure, support, and troubleshoot the Services. We keep a Child’s profile information, which is the name or nickname and age the Parent enters, the device identifiers and device information, and whether the App is installed and active, while the account is open and the Child’s profile remains, and we delete it, together with the Child’s activity records, when the account is closed or the profile is removed. We delete each record of the Child’s activity, including filtering events, application use, screen-time and rule-enforcement events, records of when the App was installed or deactivated, the IP address collected with a download, and the information sent with an update check, twelve (12) months after we collect it, or sooner when it is no longer reasonably necessary for the purpose for which we collected it. We use reasonable measures to protect a Child’s information from unauthorized access or use while we delete it. After we delete a Child’s information, copies may remain in routine backups for up to ninety (90) days. We may keep information longer where applicable law requires it or where it is subject to a legal hold.
Deactivating or Removing the App
A Parent may deactivate the App on a Child’s device at any time through the Parent’s account. While the App is deactivated, it does not filter the device’s domain requests and collects no information from that device other than whether the App remains installed.
On Apple devices, the App cannot prevent its own removal. If the App is removed from a Child’s Apple device while it is active, we send the Parent a push notification when our systems detect the removal, which may be delayed while the device is turned off or offline. On Android and Windows devices, the App can be removed only by entering a PIN that we provide to the Parent, although resetting the device or other means outside our control may remove it. If the account is closed while the App remains installed on any device, the App stops filtering that device and stops collecting information from it. A Parent who plans to close the account should first remove the App from each device, using the PIN for each Android or Windows device.
Deactivating the App stops collection from that device, other than whether the App remains installed, and removing the App stops all collection from that device. Information already collected from the device is retained and deleted as described under Retention of a Child’s Information.

Anyone Else Under 18
Apart from the information the App collects from a Child’s device with the Parent’s consent, and the IP address collected with a download from our Website and the information the App sends with an update check before pairing, as described under Downloading and Pairing the App, we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are under 18 and are not a Child whose device a Parent manages through the App, do not use or provide any information through our Services or any of their features, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any other information by which you might be identified. If we learn that we have collected personal information from anyone under 18 other than as described in this section, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have information from or about a Child or anyone else under 18, please contact us at wecare@safenettechnology.com.

Your Rights and Choices
Tracking Technologies and Your Choices
You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or other tracking technology files, or to alert you when these files are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies or similar tracking files, some features of our Services may be inaccessible or not function properly. If you refuse the adm_token authentication cookie, you will not be able to sign in to your account. Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting that can send a signal to the online services you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Services may not respond to all browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the cookie controls described in this Privacy Notice.
Promotional Offers
If you do not wish to have your contact information used to promote our products or services, you can opt out by logging into your account and adjusting your account settings and preferences, or by sending us an email stating your request to wecare@safenettechnology.com. If we have sent you a promotional email, you may reply to it with a request to be excluded from future email distributions. This opt-out does not apply to information provided to us as a result of registration, account management, services provided, or other transactions.
Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information
You can access, review, and change your Personal Information by logging into the Services and visiting your account profile page. You may also send us an email at wecare@safenettechnology.com to request access to, correct, or delete Personal Information that you have provided to us. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and your right to access, and to provide you with the Personal Information that we hold about you or make your requested changes. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the Personal Information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, erased, or made your Personal Information anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices. If we cannot provide you with access to your Personal Information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions. If we cannot delete your Personal Information except by also deleting your user account, we will delete your user account upon request to delete your Personal Information.
Your State Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residency, you may have certain rights related to your Personal Information, including:
- Access and Data Portability. You may confirm whether we process your Personal Information and access a copy of the Personal Information we process. To the extent feasible and required by your state’s law, data will be provided in a portable format.
- Correction. You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information that we maintain, taking into account the information’s nature and the purpose of processing it.
- Deletion. You may request that we delete Personal Information about you that we maintain, subject to certain exceptions under applicable law.
- Opt-Out of Sales, Targeted Advertising, and Certain Profiling. You may request that we not use your Personal Information for these purposes. Some states may also grant you the ability to learn more about or challenge decisions produced by automated profiling that have a legal or similarly significant effect on you.
The exact scope of these rights varies by state, and there are exceptions under which we may not be obligated to fulfill a given request.
To exercise any of these rights, please email us at wecare@safenettechnology.com. To appeal a decision we make regarding your rights request, please email us at wecare@safenettechnology.com with a description of your initial request and the reason you believe our determination was incorrect. We will inform you in writing of any action we take in response to your appeal and, if we decline to change our decision, how you may submit a complaint to your state’s attorney general.
Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), which can send a signal indicating your request to opt out of certain types of data processing, including data “sales” as defined under certain state laws. When we detect a GPC signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect the choice it indicates, as required by applicable law.
Nevada Residents
Nevada provides its residents with a limited right to opt out of certain Personal Information sales. Residents who wish to exercise this sale opt-out right may submit a request by emailing us at wecare@safenettechnology.com, although we do not sell covered information. Google, which provides Google Analytics, and Stripe, which processes subscription payments, set cookies through the Services, as described in Automated Collection Technologies. We do not allow any other third party to collect covered information about a consumer’s online activities over time and across different websites or online services through the Services.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
We employ physical, procedural, and technological security measures to help protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. We may use encryption, passwords, and physical security measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access and disclosure.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to our Services. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained in the Services.
Retention of Your Personal Information
Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Under some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We do not anonymize a Child’s information for other business purposes; we delete it as Children’s Privacy describes. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent. We maintain de-identified data in de-identified form, we do not attempt to re-identify it, and we contractually obligate any recipient of de-identified data to maintain it in de-identified form and not to attempt to re-identify it.
Changes to This Privacy Notice
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Notice at our discretion and at any time. It is our policy to post any changes we make to this Privacy Notice on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ Personal Information, we will notify you through a notice on the Website home page, through the App, and, where we have an email address for you, by email. The date this Privacy Notice was last revised is identified at the top of the page. When we make changes to this Privacy Notice, we will post the updated Privacy Notice through the Services and update its effective date. Material changes to the practices described in Children’s Privacy take effect for a Child’s information only after we obtain new verifiable parental consent. You are responsible for periodically visiting our Services and this Privacy Notice to check for any changes. Except as stated above regarding a Child’s information, your continued use of our Services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
