Bark

Product Introduction
Bark is an advanced parental control platform that empowers parents to safeguard their children’s digital experiences and physical safety. With a focus on proactive monitoring and AI-driven threat detection, Bark offers tools to track online activity, manage screen time, block harmful content, and share location data. The platform includes tailored solutions like the Bark Phone (a dedicated device with built-in monitoring software), Bark Premium (enhanced features for iOS/Android), Bark Jr (for younger children), and Bark Home (a router-based safety system). These products work seamlessly to address modern parenting challenges, ensuring kids engage with technology responsibly while protecting them from cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and other risks.
