What is SafeAnywhere?

SafeAnywhere is a complete digital safety suite for children, combining AI-powered browsers with comprehensive monitoring apps. It offers 70+ safeguarding features including real-time monitoring, content filtering, screen time management, and grooming detection. SafeAnywhere protects children across iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.

How does SafeAnywhere protect children online?

SafeAnywhere uses AI-powered content filtering to block inappropriate websites, images, and videos. It monitors device activity in real-time, detects grooming attempts and cyberbullying, manages screen time, and provides parents with comprehensive dashboards and instant alerts. The solution combines safe browsers for web browsing with monitoring apps for complete device protection.

What platforms does SafeAnywhere support?

SafeAnywhere supports iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. The solution includes browsers for safe web browsing and monitoring apps for complete device protection across all platforms. You can manage all your children's devices from a single parent dashboard.

Is SafeAnywhere free?

SafeAnywhere offers a free 15-day trial with full access to all features. After the trial, subscription plans are available starting from a free tier with basic features to premium plans with complete protection. No credit card is required for the free trial.

How do I install SafeAnywhere?

Installation is simple and takes about 5 minutes. Visit our Download page to get the SafeAnywhere browser and monitoring app for your child's device. Follow the step-by-step installation guide, create a parent account, and start protecting your child immediately. The setup wizard will guide you through the process.

Can I monitor multiple children and devices?

Yes! SafeAnywhere allows you to manage multiple children and devices from a single parent dashboard. You can create individual profiles for each child, set different rules based on their age, and monitor all devices in one place. Each child can have customized filtering levels and time limits.

Will SafeAnywhere slow down my child's device?

No, SafeAnywhere is designed to operate efficiently in the background without impacting device performance. The AI filtering happens in real-time with minimal resource usage, ensuring your child's device remains fast and responsive. Most users report no noticeable performance impact.

How does AI content filtering work?

SafeAnywhere's AI content filtering uses advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze websites, images, and videos in real-time. It understands context and meaning, not just keywords, to accurately identify and block inappropriate content. The system continuously learns from new threats and content patterns to provide up-to-date protection.

Can my child bypass SafeAnywhere's protections?

SafeAnywhere includes multiple layers of protection to prevent bypassing. Features like VPN blocking, DNS locking, and app blocking make it extremely difficult for children to circumvent the safety measures. The system also alerts parents immediately if any bypass attempts are detected.

What happens if my child tries to access blocked content?

When your child attempts to access blocked content, SafeAnywhere immediately blocks the request and displays a child-friendly message explaining why the content isn't available. You'll receive a real-time alert on your parent dashboard, allowing you to review the attempt and discuss it with your child if needed.

How does grooming detection work?

SafeAnywhere's AI analyzes chat patterns, messages, and communication behavior to detect signs of grooming. It flags suspicious patterns like excessive flattery, requests for secrecy, inappropriate questions, and attempts to move conversations to private channels. Parents receive immediate alerts when potential grooming is detected.

Can I set different rules for different times of day?

Yes! SafeAnywhere offers flexible scheduling options. You can create custom routines with different rules for school days, weekends, holidays, and specific times of day. For example, you can block games during homework time, allow extra time on weekends, or enable study mode during school hours.

What kind of reports can I see?

SafeAnywhere provides comprehensive reports including browsing history, app usage, screen time, location history, social media activity, and alerts. Reports can be viewed in the dashboard, downloaded as PDFs, or scheduled to be emailed automatically. You can filter reports by child, date range, or activity type.

Is my child's data secure and private?

Yes. SafeAnywhere is built privacy-first. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, only the parent who set up the account can access it, and we never sell or share it with third parties. We're designed around COPPA and GDPR principles in how we collect, store and let you delete data — and you can export or delete your child's records at any time.

What if I need help or have questions?

SafeAnywhere offers comprehensive support through multiple channels. You can contact our support team via email, access our help desk, participate in our community forum, or check our extensive resources section. We also provide step-by-step guides and video tutorials to help you get the most out of SafeAnywhere.

Can I use SafeAnywhere on my child's school device?

SafeAnywhere can be installed on personal devices. For school-owned devices, you'll need to check with your school's IT policy. Many schools allow parental control software on devices that children bring home. Contact your school's IT department for specific guidelines.

Does SafeAnywhere work offline?

SafeAnywhere's content filtering and app blocking work offline. However, real-time alerts, location tracking, and dashboard updates require an internet connection. The system will sync all data once the device reconnects to the internet.

How often is SafeAnywhere updated?

SafeAnywhere receives regular updates to add new features, improve AI detection capabilities, and address new threats. Updates are automatic and don't require any action from you. The AI models are continuously trained on new content patterns to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Where is SafeAnywhere available right now?

Our first release covers India, Southeast Asia and Latin America. Families anywhere can install the apps and try the free trial today, but billing, local payment methods, language support and partner programmes are tuned for these three regions first. More regions roll out as we expand — drop us a line at cst@shephertz.com to be notified when we land in yours.

Can I try SafeAnywhere before purchasing?

Yes! SafeAnywhere offers a free 15-day trial with full access to all premium features. No credit card is required to start the trial. This gives you plenty of time to test all features and see how SafeAnywhere works for your family before making a commitment.

What makes SafeAnywhere different from other parental control apps?

SafeAnywhere stands out with its comprehensive approach: AI-powered content filtering that understands context, real-time grooming and bullying detection, support for all major platforms, a unified dashboard for browsers and apps, and 70+ features covering every aspect of digital safety. Unlike basic parental controls, SafeAnywhere provides complete protection and insights.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings in the parent dashboard. There are no cancellation fees, and you'll continue to have access to all features until the end of your current billing period. If you need help, our support team is available to assist.

Is SafeAnywhere available in India?

Yes. India is SafeAnywhere's primary market. The product is built in Gurugram by ShepHertz Technologies, operates as a Data Processor under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, and is tuned for CBSE, ICSE and state-board families. The SafeAnywhere Browser, Guard app for Android tablets, browser extensions and parent dashboard are all available on the free 15-day trial today.

Is SafeAnywhere DPDP Act compliant?

SafeAnywhere operates as a Data Processor under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. We process the minimum signal needed (time-on-app, attention curves, filter events, pattern persistence) and never read messages, keystrokes, photos or chat contents on children's devices. Parents can export or delete their child's records at any time from the dashboard.

Does SafeAnywhere work with CBSE and ICSE schools?

Yes. SafeAnywhere Schools is deployed with CBSE and ICSE private schools across India with a unified Principal dashboard, the Browser filter at the content layer, Guard on ICT lab machines and student tablets, and per-student policies set by the ICT Lead. State-board schools can use the same stack. Book a schools demo from our Schools & Institutions page.

How much does SafeAnywhere cost in India?

SafeAnywhere offers a free 15-day trial with no credit card required. Paid plans are tuned for Indian families with local payment methods (UPI, cards, net banking). Visit our Pricing page for current tier pricing and school/institutional rates. Cancel anytime; no cancellation fees.

Does SafeAnywhere read my child's WhatsApp messages?

No. SafeAnywhere is privacy-first by design. We do not read message contents, chat bodies or keystrokes on any app, including WhatsApp. What we do surface to parents is pattern-level signal (time on specific apps, attention curves, filter events) so you see the usage shape without the content. This is a deliberate design choice and is reflected in our DPDP Data Processor posture.

How is SafeAnywhere different from Google Family Link?

Google Family Link is a free, Google-ecosystem tool that handles basic screen time and app approvals on Android. SafeAnywhere adds a dedicated Safe Browser with AI content filtering, a Guard app for tablets, a browser extension for Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Safari, cross-platform coverage (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux), grooming-pattern detection, a unified parent dashboard, and India-specific features (DPDP compliance, CBSE/ICSE school integrations). Family Link covers the device layer; SafeAnywhere covers the device, browser and content layers together.

Can I block Indian apps like ShareChat, Moj and Josh?

Yes. SafeAnywhere's app blocking and app-category policies work for any installed app on Android, including ShareChat, Moj, Josh, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and other short-form video apps. Parents can block individual apps, set per-app time caps, or block whole categories (short-form video, social media, games) with one policy switch.

Does SafeAnywhere filter Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Bengali content?

Yes. The AI content filter is language-aware and covers Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati and Punjabi content in addition to English. The filter reads context, not just keywords, so transliterated and code-mixed text (Hinglish, Tanglish) are caught alongside native-script content.

Does SafeAnywhere work on Jio, Airtel and Vi networks?

Yes. SafeAnywhere works on any Indian mobile network (Jio, Airtel, Vi/Vodafone-Idea, BSNL) and on home Wi-Fi. The Browser and Guard app filter at the content and device layers regardless of which network the child is on, so the protection travels with the device.

Does SafeAnywhere help during CBSE and ICSE board exam prep?

Yes. Many SafeAnywhere families use the board-exam phone protocol for Class 10 and Class 12 students in the six months before boards: a Study Mode profile that allows educational apps and blocks social media, short-form video and games, plus scheduled distraction-free windows during revision hours. Parents can switch profiles from the dashboard; the child's phone stays the same device.

Is my child's data stored in India?

SafeAnywhere's data handling follows the DPDP Act 2023. For specific hosting locations, server regions and cross-border transfer arrangements, see our Privacy Policy. We encrypt data in transit and at rest, limit access to the parent who set up the account, and never sell or share data with third parties.

Can grandparents or a second parent have access to the dashboard?

Yes. SafeAnywhere supports multiple caregiver profiles on a single family account, so both parents, a grandparent, or a guardian can see the dashboard and receive alerts. Only the primary account holder can change billing; other caregivers get view and respond access.

Does SafeAnywhere work on low-end Android phones?

Yes. SafeAnywhere is optimised for the full range of Android devices used by Indian families, including entry-level handsets. The Browser and Guard app are designed to run efficiently in the background with minimal battery and memory impact. There is no minimum RAM or storage requirement beyond what the Play Store supports.

Can schools deploy SafeAnywhere across an entire campus?

Yes. SafeAnywhere Schools is designed for campus-wide deployment with the Principal and ICT Lead as administrators. The stack covers student tablets, ICT lab Windows machines and school-issued phones. Policies are set per student (or per class, year or house) from a unified dashboard. Contact our schools team through the Schools & Institutions page for pricing and the deployment path.
