12.1. How do I protect my children from online threats?
Bitdefender Parental Control allows you to restrict access to the internet
and to specific apps, preventing your children from viewing inappropriate
content whenever you are not around.
To configure the Parental Control:
1. Click Privacy on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
2. In the PARENTAL CONTROL pane, click Configure.
You are redirected to the Bitdefender account webpage. Make sure that
you are logged in with your credentials.
3. The Parental Control dashboard opens. This is where you can check and
configure the Parental Control settings.
4. Click ADD PROFILE on the right-side of the My Children window.
5. Set specific information in the corresponding fields, such as: name and
date of birth. To add a profile photo, click the Choose file link. Click NEXT
STEP to continue.
Based on children development standards, setting the child's date of birth
automatically loads settings for searching the web considered appropriate
for his age category.
6. If your child's device already has Bitdefender Internet Security installed,
select his device from the available list, and then select the account you
want to monitor. Click SAVE.
If your child uses an Android or iOS device and the Bitdefender Parental
Control app is not installed, click ADD DEVICE. If your child uses a Mac
device and the Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac app is not installed, click the
same button. Select the operating system you want to install the app, and
then click NEXT STEP to continue.

link of the Bitdefender app, and then click SEND INSTALLATION LINK.
