Who owns the phone?
A parent or legal guardian must own the minor child's phone or have lawful authority to manage it.
For parents and guardians
Begin with the family decision—not the installation.
VowLock gives you a structured way to choose a phone, understand the available boundaries and visit a trained vendor with fewer surprises.
Before the visit
Four things to decide together.
What needs a boundary?
Choose declared categories for a reason. Do not add hidden monitoring or use the setup as punishment.
Is Strong setup suitable?
Current products use Strong setup only. It requires more preparation and has serious data, account and recovery consequences.
How long should it last?
Review the exact start, end and release conditions. Strong Android release remains an assisted pilot evidence gate.
Child dignity
Make the boundary visible.
Tell the child what is being protected, why the family chose it and how long it is expected to last. VowLock is designed to support a family agreement—not create a secret surveillance feed.
Passwords, PINs and two-factor codes stay with the family. A technician should never ask to retain them.
Already have a phone?
Review the current platform paths before travelling. Compatibility is established by the exact model, operating system and installation route—not by the logo on the phone alone.
