Kaspersky for Android

Content filtering in Japan

Web Control is available only in the app in Japan to comply with the Japanese law.

Web Control is only available if you have a subscription for Kaspersky app.

Web Control allows you to manage web content on a mobile device and protect against unwanted online content. For example, you can install Kaspersky app on your child's device and choose which web content categories and specific websites will be available to him or her.

Web Control includes Malicious Content Shield, which blocks URLs leading to websites containing dangerous pirated material (as identified by the Safer Internet Association working with the Japanese government). This filter also prevents access to sites created to steal personal information and financial details (as identified by Japan’s National Police Agency).

You must use a protected browser to be protected on the internet. See the list of protected browsers.

To set up Web Control,

1. On a child's device, open Kaspersky app.
2. On the bottom tab bar in the Kaspersky app, tap All Features.
3. Tap Safe Browsing.
4. Tap Settings on the Browser with protection screen.
5. Tap Configure Content Filter and set the secret code to make sure that only an adult can change these feature settings.

   If you need to, you can add alternative access options.

6. Tap Content filtering settings on the Safe Browsing screen.
7. In the Content filtering mode that opens, set up age limitations. If you select Custom, you can manually block access to specific website categories.
8. Go back to the Safe Browsing screen.

The Web Control is set up.

If necessary, you can add websites to the list of exclusions. Web Control doesn't block websites added to the list of exclusions even if they belong to restricted categories.

To exclude specific websites,

1. On the bottom tab bar in Kaspersky app, tap All Features.
2. Tap Safe Browsing.
3. Tap Settings on the Browser with protection screen.
