It was only fitting that as a directory that has its focus on providing safe content we reviewed a site that is trying hard to work on devising methods to filter undesirable content so that the child and family alike can ensure that they surf safely with the knowledge that they aren’t going to stumble across undesirable material that seems to litter the Internet at every turn. They’ve done this by creating what they’ve labeled Accountability Software which effectively monitors a person’s Internet use and emails a report of all websites visited for Accountability Partners to view.

What impressed us with this site and the service it provides is that its creating a community and takes a wide spectrum of internet concerns into account. The site not only concerns itself with the child safe side of the Internet but also pays attention to the much underplayed concerns of the adult who fall victim to the temptation of internet porn which we all know is far too freely available.

The site plays great emphasis on creating what will ultimately be a network of like-minded people that include parents, family, trusted friends, mentors, coaches, husbands, wives, pastors, clergy, counselors, and other trusted and concerned individuals who are equally committed to helping each other with the same goal of filtering pornography and other undesirable material.

Obviously services as important as this aren’t going to be free and the pricing structure of the software can be found here which in our view isn’t that large amount for that all important piece of mind, and no doubt as the community of watchers grow the price will lower. The covenant program operates on both Windows and Mac systems with a download area readily available, (always read the instructions before downloading regardless of what the site).

The site offers access to a help and resource area offering access to counseling resources, statistics, and a news centre where they aim to keep you up to date with their latest press releases, software updates and more. Compliment this with a comprehensive and interesting blog this site provides pretty much a home for anyone who’s either experienced any of the issues covered by this site or are simply wanting to avoid them happening.

As expected from a site concerned with Internet safety they show great transparency with their physical address which we’ve provided for you below. They can also be contacted through a number of e-mail address and telephone numbers on this page.
