About Us

SocialScanner is a web-based platform that allows parents to monitor what their children are doing online. With the dizzying pace at which social networking is evolving, it's more important than ever to know what your child is doing online – both for their safety today and their future tomorrow.

If there is one thing we've learned about the internet, once something is posted, it's impossible to delete. A “harmless fun” photo in which your child was “tagged” on someone's Facebook page could ultimately make the difference in a college application being accepted or a new job offer being extended. Unfortunately, most children don't look at the long term consequences of this type of behavior.

Even worse, there are sexual predators lurking in the shadows, seeking out the young and easily influenced. There are criminals trying to steal identities and scam people out of their money. There are devious people who hide behind their screen names and bully children, which can result in low self esteem, depression, and even suicide.

The list goes on and on

SocialScanner was designed by a group of parents and internet safety experts dedicated to protecting children from the not-so-social aspects of social networking. With SocialScanner, not only will you find out what social networks your child is actively participating on, but you will be able to monitor your child's activities, their friends (and their friends activities!), and photos. Because everything is controlled from a single easy-to-use platform, information is presented in an organized and convenient manner, allowing for effortless monitoring.

It's time to take control of your family's safety. With SocialScanner, you can – we make social networking safety simple.
