What’s the difference between the mobile app, weekly email report, and website?
The SecurlyHome mobile app offers parents the most comprehensive feature set.
- View your child’s online activity feed in real time.
- Tap the Pause button to turn on/off internet access to your child’s school device.
- Receive push notifications for flagged activities.
The weekly email report gives a snapshot of your child’s activity for the previous week. The website provides basic features such as the Activity Feed.
I have multiple children. How do I know which item in the Activity Feed or Tab belongs to which child?
The child’s email address is listed beside each item in the Activity Feed and is in chronological order. To view each child’s activity, click on the drop-down menu that says, “All Activities” and select the child you want to view. Or, just type their email address in the search bar at the top and hit enter.
What content is found in the “Flagged Activities” section?
If your child’s school allows access to Facebook and Twitter on a school-issued device, Securly scans posts (not comments or images) for any indications of bullying or self- harm/suicide.
Flagged sites: If a student accesses a site related to self-harm, we flag it.
Flagged searches: If a student’s search terms on Google, Bing, Yahoo, or Wikipedia are indicative of self-harm/violence, we flag it.
