Considerations to keep in mind:

• Parental Controls are intended to help prevent devices from accessing inappropriate online content; however, they are not guaranteed to block access to all inappropriate sites and applications. Practicing online safety is always recommended.
• If a device has accessed inappropriate content prior to Parental Controls being applied, the content may be cached on the device and unable to be blocked until up to 24 hours later.
• Ignite HomeConnect Parental Controls are applied through the home WiFi network connection and do not apply if a device connects directly to inappropriate content through a cellular or public WiFi connection.
• Ignite HomeConnect Parental Controls do not apply to content accessed through the Ignite TV app or service which instead offers integrated KidsZone tools.
