Bark Technologies

Bark is a common sense solution that helps keep children safe online.

Founded by a parent and digital media expert who wanted to provide an option to help protect children online without compromising their privacy, Bark empowers parents to work with their children to keep them safe. Combining the smartest technologies with a fundamental respect for parents' time and children's privacy, Bark alerts parents only when it detects a potential threat – be it sexting, cyberbullying, or even suicidal thoughts. Unlike traditional monitoring tools that require parents to comb through every single activity or that use keyword searches ignoring context and history, Bark utilizes data science, machine learning and pattern matching for more accurate alerts. These alerts are combined with research-based, actionable recommendations for addressing the issue head-on, putting more power in parents' hands to help address digital dangers. The first month of Bark is free so that parents can see how easy and helpful Bark is. To start your free trial, simply sign up and work with your child to connect their email, text and social media accounts.
