1. Minor Data Protection & Zero-Telemetry Selling Guarantee
DarkNode Technologies maintains a strict zero-data-selling architecture for minor telemetry. We never sell, rent, monetize, or disclose your child's browsing patterns, screen activities, or sensitive device telemetry to any advertising network, data broker, or commercial third party. All threat analysis executes privately on-device.
2. Cookies, Analytics and Web Beacons
Like most modern websites, DarkNode uses standard web cookies, local storage, and server log files to improve user navigation, remember interface preferences, and analyze aggregate web traffic. Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent through your individual browser settings.
3. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense Policy
To support our free digital safety guides, parental advisory resources, and public utilities, we partner with reputable third-party advertising vendors, including Google AdSense, to display contextual advertisements across our public web portals.
• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads on DarkNode based on user visits to this site and other websites across the Internet.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
4. On-Device AI Architecture (Edge Inference)
Unlike traditional parental control applications that route web traffic through external VPN proxies, DarkNode utilizes an on-device TensorFlow Lite neural engine. 18+ keyword checks and adult URL evaluations occur directly inside the phone's memory in 0.04s without sending screen recordings to outside servers.
5. Compliance with Indian DPDP Act (2023)
DarkNode fully complies with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act 2023) governing verifiable parental consent for minors. Parents hold absolute control over account data and may export or permanently erase all historical logs with a single click.
