Norton Family client for Android

About Norton Family

Your parent has installed Norton Family client, which is a part of Norton Family, on this Android device. Norton Family is an online family safety service designed to help keep you safe from viewing inappropriate content and cyberbullying, and helps open communication between you and your parent to talk about exploring the online world safely.

If you feel that the house rules are inappropriate, we encourage you to talk to your parent. Your parent can modify the house rules based on your need. The following features of Norton Family ensure your online safety.

Web Filtering

The Web Filtering feature protects you from accessing or viewing inappropriate Web sites. When Web Filtering is turned on, Norton Family automatically filters inappropriate Web sites by age group. Your parent can turn on or off Web Filtering and manage the settings using Norton Family.

Web Monitoring

The Web Monitoring feature provides a detailed summary of Web pages that you visited or attempted to visit. By logging into Norton Family, your parent can view the list of all the Web sites that you visited or that were blocked on this Android device.

Application Monitoring (Premier only)

The Application Monitoring feature in Norton Family Premier monitors and reports all the applications that are installed or uninstalled on this Android device. Your parent can turn on Application Monitoring within Norton Family Premier and view the list of the applications that are installed or uninstalled.

Message Monitoring (Premier only)

The Message Monitoring feature in Norton Family Premier monitors the text messages (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS) that are sent and received on this Android device.

For each SMS that you send or receive, Norton Family monitors and records the text message content along with the sender or recipient name, date, and time details. For each MMS that you send or receive, Norton Family monitors the content along with the sender or recipient name, date, and time details. Norton Family does not save the photo, video, or song that was shared.

Your parent can turn on or turn off Message Monitoring and set limits with whom you share SMS or MMS. Norton Family Premier periodically notifies your friends that the conversations are monitored. Standard SMS charges apply for each notification message that Norton Family sends to your friends.

Changing Norton Family settings

To change your house rules or settings, your parent can use the Parent mode in the Android device or log in to the Norton Family Web site.

Norton Family client uses Android's Device Administration features to ensure that house rules are enforced. To uninstall Norton Family client, you must first deactivate the Device Administrator. To locate the Device Administrator, go to Settings, Security, Device Administrators. Your parent must provide their Norton Family credentials, so speak with your parent about why you want to uninstall Norton Family client.
