An innovative cybersafety tool that reimagines how families use
the internet and keeps children safe is expected to become a ‘must
have’ household purchase.
Available in Australia for the first time, Circle with
Disney lets parents manage screen time and filter content for
all connected devices in the home in a unique and positive way.
Managed through a companion iOS or Android app, the device helps
parents stay informed about children's online activities and manage
screen time in the home, including smart phones, tablets,
computers, and gaming consoles. Circle with Disney pairs with home
Wi-Fi and provides the ability to filter content, set a bedtime for
devices, and even completely pause the internet. Each child’s
profile and settings can be customised based on age and parents’
preferences.
Leading Australian cybersafety specialist CyberHound was
approached by US-based Circle Media Labs to introduce the product
to the local market. CyberHound Chief Executive Officer John Fison
said Circle with Disney is a premium offering that fills a gap in
the market for quality home-based cybersafety.
“This is a game changer that enables families to manage online
time and activities,” Mr Fison said.
Circle Media Labs Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder Lance
Charlish is looking forward to working with CyberHound to protect
young Australians and help them grow into responsible digital
citizens.
“As technology becomes more intertwined with our lives, the key
is to get the most out of it, without having it completely take
over,” Mr Charlish said.
“We want to make it as easy as possible to help Australian
families find that balance in their lives.”
Mr Fison said his team will introduce Circle with Disney to
school communities who are seeking a quality home-based cybersafety
solution.
“We are delighted to be associated with the leading parental
solution for helping children use the internet safely and
responsibly. Parents should have access to the world’s best
technology, and just as we help schools manage cybersafety risks
for students, Circle with Disney provides this peace of mind at
home.”
Priced initially at $99, Circle with Disney is exclusively
available from CyberSafeHouse.com.
