How to set an allowed area for your child
Kaspersky Safe Kids lets you set an allowed area. The allowed area is the area where the child should be at the time you set. You receive an alert when the child leaves the agreed area with the monitored mobile device.
For example, on weekdays, your child must be in school or on school grounds from 8:00 to 12:00. If at this time, the child leaves school grounds, you will receive an alert.
Alerts, when the child leaves the allowed area, cannot be sent from the child's mobile device without an Internet connection.
You can set an allowed area for the child only in the premium version of Kaspersky Safe Kids.
