The Online Risk Rating is an assessment of the potential risks and dangers a child may encounter while using the internet. The rating takes into account your child data usage by content category, and the restricted sites the child (knowingly or inadvertently) tries to access. The Risk Rating can be considered a measure of the level of online safety and security associated with a child's internet activities. The Risk Rating is meant as an insight so that parents can take appropriate measures to protect their child's online well-being and guide them towards safe online practices.
