Net Nanny is a legacy parental control brand now owned by Bark Technologies. The product focuses on content filtering and screen time management with additional monitoring capabilities. Long history means established technology but also legacy terms that haven't fully adapted to modern privacy expectations or children's digital rights.
Net Nanny captures all browsing activity, including URLs, search queries, and time spent on sites. This creates comprehensive internet usage profiles that document children's online curiosity and interests.
Every app installation and usage time is logged. Parents see not just what's blocked, but complete engagement patterns with all permitted applications.
Net Nanny has changed ownership multiple times, now part of Bark Technologies. Each acquisition means new data practices, different corporate policies, and uncertain data handling continuity.
Terms grant extensive rights to analyze blocked and flagged content. This data, aggregated across users, could inform content filtering decisions and be used for product development purposes.
Decades of development mean reliable filtering technology and well-tested blocking mechanisms for inappropriate content.
Parents can customize filtering levels by content category, allowing age-appropriate access rather than all-or-nothing blocking.
