Frequently Asked Questions

KidInspector is a parental control software for computers operating on Windows. It helps parents or legal guardians monitor their child's computer activity to develop and support safer digital habits. The software can track visited websites, search queries, installed applications, and messages in supported messengers. It also offers screenshots, call recording, website blocking, etc. KidInspector parental control is designed for open, responsible supervision — not for hidden monitoring.

When your subscription ends, you will no longer be able to access your monitoring data through the dashboard. Please don't worry — your data isn't deleted straight away. KidInspector continues to store your monitoring data for one year from the date it was collected, so you have time to renew your subscription if you wish. After that one-year period, the data is automatically removed from our systems. You can find more details in our Data Retention & Deletion Policy.

No, KidInspector does not run in hidden mode. The software is designed for open and transparent parental control. We believe responsible monitoring starts with trust and communication. You should inform your child that the software is installed on their computer. Legal use of monitoring software typically requires notification and, in many regions, consent.

No, remote installation is not possible. You must have physical access to your child's computer to install KidInspector. This is because the software needs to be downloaded and set up directly on the device you plan to monitor. There is no option to install it remotely.

1. Remote uninstallation: You can uninstall the software directly from your parent dashboard. This is the easiest method.
2. Manual uninstallation: If needed, you can also uninstall KidInspector like any other Windows program, directly from the child's computer.

After removing the software, your monitoring data will remain in your account according to our Data Retention & Deletion Policy. If you also want to delete your account and all associated data, you can request that directly from the dashboard.

KidInspector can monitor activity on popular messaging apps and social networks, including Telegram, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Please note — this is not a full list of all supported platforms. The software can track activity on many other social networks and messengers as well.

No, KidInspector is designed only for parents or legal guardians monitoring their own child's computer.

Only you — and anyone you choose to give access to your account. The data is stored in your personal dashboard, and we do not share it with anyone else unless you provide access yourself.

KidInspector is designed to run continuously once installed on your child's Windows computer. However, no software is completely tamper-proof. Some children may find ways to close or remove the program if they have administrator access to the computer or are technically skilled. We recommend having an open conversation with your child about the software's presence. For additional protection, make sure your child does not have administrator privileges on the monitored device.
