Terms & Definitions

Time spent in individual applications on a device. Teenvise categorizes apps (Social, Education, Entertainment) and reports usage by app per day.

Advanced Encryption Standard with a 256-bit key — the gold standard for symmetric data encryption. All Teenvise data stored at rest is AES-256 encrypted.

The current charge level of the teen's Android device, reported by the Teenvise app every 15 minutes. Alerts fire when battery drops below configurable thresholds.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act — a US law that restricts data collection from children under 13. Teenvise requires a parent account to manage all teen profiles.

A parent-configured maximum duration for daily screen time. When the limit is approached or reached, both parent and teen receive a notification.

The process of linking a teen's Android device to a parent account via an invite link. The teen must accept the connection and grant required permissions.

A virtual geographic boundary defined around a real-world location. When a device enters or exits this boundary, a trigger event fires and an alert is sent to the parent.

Global Positioning System — the satellite-based navigation system used by Teenvise's Android app to determine the teen device's real-world position.

An adult account with parental access to a teen's safety dashboard. Multiple guardians can be added per teen profile (co-parent, grandparent, etc.).

General Data Protection Regulation — EU law governing data privacy. Teenvise provides data access, portability, rectification, and erasure rights to all EU users.

The continuous or interval-based recording of a device's GPS position. Teenvise updates location every 30 seconds (Pro/Family plans) or every 5 minutes (Free plan).

A recorded trail of past GPS positions over time. Retained for 7 days (Free), 90 days (Pro), or 1 year (Family plan).

Real-time alerts sent to the parent's browser or mobile device when safety events occur (e.g., geofence exit, low battery, SOS).

A named geofence location that is pre-configured as an approved or expected location for your teen — e.g., School, Home, Sports Club.

The total duration a device's display is active and being interacted with. Teenvise tracks screen time per app and in aggregate across the day.

An emergency distress signal triggered by the teen via the Teenvise app. Instantly notifies all guardians with the current GPS location.

A child record in the parent dashboard containing the teen's name, age, and linked Android device. Each profile feeds data to the parent dashboard.

Transport Layer Security version 1.3 — the protocol used to encrypt all data in transit between the Teenvise app, servers, and parent dashboard.
