What the Weekly Report Doesn't Show
Reports and logs show filtered destinations, not private conversations. Here's the line between visibility and surveillance in Guardian-CORR.
The design line
Guardian-CORR records what the filter caught — blocked domains, categories, alerts, and requests — because those are the events a parent can act on. It deliberately does not record the content of allowed browsing, messages, chats, emails, or calls. The product is a safety net, not a monitoring suite.
What that means day to day
- You see: every blocked event (who, what, when), VPN and bypass attempts, unknown devices, schedule activity, and access-request decisions.
- You don't see: which allowed sites your child visited, what they searched, what they said, or who they messaged. If a site was permitted, it's not in the log.
Why this boundary matters
Products that capture everything tend to create adversarial households — kids route around them, and parents drown in noise. Blocking with visibility into violations gives you the signal (a gambling streak, a 2 AM VPN attempt) without the surveillance that erodes trust. It also means there's far less sensitive data sitting in an account that could be compromised.
If you need more visibility
For on-the-go and app-level concerns, built-in OS tools (Apple Screen Time, Google Family Link) provide app usage in a device-scoped way. Many families combine: the gateway for content and schedules, OS tools for app time — each doing what it's best at.
