Telefónica teams with Qustodio, the Barcelona based security software vendor to offer Qustodio’s cross platform, multi-device cloud-based family safety suite to its customers in Spain in weeks to come and to its other subsidiaries at a later stage. As part of the deal, Telefónica's customers will receive preferential access to Qustodio’s complete online family safety suite.
According to Telefonica, Qustodio's family security suite provides unique and easy to use tools to help families protect, understand and manage internet activity and device usage across all connected devices. It allows parents to block harmful content, better control the time their kids spend online, track their child’s device or restrict apps on their devices. Through a secure dashboard, parents are able to view and manage the online activity of their children from anywhere with daily, weekly or monthly detailed reports on the time spent online and social media.
Telefónica had an indirect stake in Qustodio through Amerigo, the international network of technology venture capital funds which is part of Telefónica’s Open Future initiative to boost technological innovation and entrepreneurship around the world.
