Digital Safety Disclaimer

Our Digital Family helps families understand and reduce digital risk; it cannot eliminate that risk.

No guarantee of protection

Security controls, family practices, fraud-prevention steps, parental controls, backups, authentication tools, and other recommendations can reduce risk, but no combination can guarantee that an account will not be compromised, a scam will not succeed, information will not be exposed, or a family member will not experience online harm.

Not professional advice

Content is educational and general in nature. For legal, financial, medical, mental-health, law-enforcement, or other professional matters, seek an appropriately qualified professional or relevant authority.

Emergencies and active incidents

If money is being transferred, an account is actively compromised, a child may be in danger, or a crime or emergency may be occurring, do not rely solely on this website. Contact the relevant financial institution, platform, law-enforcement agency, emergency service, or other appropriate organization.

Third-party products and services
