How eGuardian Protects Your Child
"Don't Talk to Strangers"
This simple advice has helped keep kids safe for generations. But on the Internet, your children talk with strangers everyday. Major social networking sites - and hundreds of social and gaming sites parents don't even know about attract millions of children, along with thousands of child molesters, pornographers and scammers, all waiting to pose as children and gain your child's trust. On the Internet it is hard not to talk to strangers.
eGuardian removes the danger and uncertainty from online communication. The system the age and identity of your child and everyone your child communicates with online through our patented verification process. Once verified, eGuardian members become part of a trusted community that ensures your child can only communicate with other verified children on secure sites. And with eGuardian, your child's identity is always kept secure, and will never be shared.
Securing Social Networking Sites
Social networking sites such as MySpace, Club Penguin and FaceBook have revolutionized how children communicate. Despite age restrictions, children as young as elementary age can go online to meet new people, which can lead to sharing photos and compromising information.
eGuardian makes social networking sites safe. With eGuardian, social networking sites can instantly know the age range (but not identity) of your child, and will stop them from posing as an adult or joining sites not intended for their age group. Once protected with eGuardian, your child can only communicate with other eGuardian-verified children, or others specifically approved by you, the parent, effectively blocking out adult predators from preying on your children.
And since the sites now know the age group of your child, they can take extra steps to further protect your child from adult content.
Search Engines Become Child-Friendly
With so many malicious and adult-oriented sites on the Internet, almost any search term can yield inappropriate results. You can enable safe-searching or parental controls, but these all-or-nothing controls are generally ineffective, and easily bypassed. eGuardian protects your child online by sharing your child's age group (but not identifying information) with the search engine, allowing the engine to transparently filter results inappropriate for your child's age group. eGuardian adjusts as your child ages, automatically increasing the scope and depth of searches available.
Keep Pornography Away From Your Children
eGuardian combines its unique protection system with any site-blocking software already on your computer, to provide a deeper level of protection. With more than 20,000 popular sites actively monitored, and thousands more blocked, one low enrollment fee gives parents the ultimate tool for online protection with no software to buy or subscriptions to pay for.
In addition to making social networking sites and search engines safe for children, eGuardian is working to make age verification a standard with adult sites, moving towards the goal of automatically blocking any eGuardian-enabled computer from viewing any adult-oriented site.
