Recently, much has been said about digital footprint protection. (Thanks to Apple and FBI for bringing this topic into the spotlight. Tech experts who track such trends say that people are beginning to pay more attention to the privacy of their children using encrypted communications.

The argument against encryption is this: It allows those who exploit children. “go dark.”This is true. However, encryption is a powerful tool that can protect children from predators as well as bullies or other people who would like to harm them. The purpose of encryption isn’t just to keep your information private and secure, but also to provide peace of mind and personal safety.

Consider it this way: Your phone and all other digital devices have almost all of the personal information you own — your current and historical locations, your home address and information about your family, friends, calls, texts, emails and any website that you’ve visited. All of this information is at your disposal. It can also be dangerous for your children if it is not used properly.

The good news is that it’s now much easier and more affordable to protect your kids’ data.

The Gabriel appVirnetX, an Internet security company and software company, created and developed.

You can rest assured that the communications of your children — whether they chat, video, chat, email, share photos, documents, or text — will be safe and secure for only $50 per annum.

Gabriel’s data is not shared with anyone, not even VirnetX, so no one can intercept, see, or hear your kids’ communications. Hackers are virtually eliminated by this person-to–person encryption.

Other benefits include:

* Making free voice or video calls or sending IMs (instant messages) to other Gabriel members.

* Receiving spamless email.

* Sharing pictures or files that are immune to interception.
