Recorded Calls and SMS to safeguard phone users
Not all phone users need this kind of monitoring, but for those that do, ParentShield is here to achieve this. Even if the SIM card is in a very basic ‘feature phone’, all Calls and SMS are recorded and securely stored for up to six months.
The majority of ParentShield customers don’t need to check these recordings, but have the peace of mind that, should the unthinkable happen, the last six month’s correspondence will be there to check for signs of danger.
Coupled with ParentShield’s alert monitoring features, call recording provides an excellent insight into the sort of conversations being had by a child, and with whom, so timely conversations can be had to support and provide reassurance and encouragement.
Privacy protected at all times
Only ParentShield account holders ( Parents or legal guardians ) are able to access the recordings via your secure Parentshield Portal. Access to the Portal is via the account details provided at sign-up time and can be additionally secured by 2-factor authentication. Any access to the portal can be set to raise an alert to the account holder if necessary.
ParentShield Support staff have no access to any recordings or SMS transcripts. Any caller needing to gain access to the portal will be required to pass a security check.
