What does Covenant Eyes monitor?

Where am I?


The short answer – the screen.

The long answer – when Covenant Eyes is installed on a computer, phone, or tablet, it captures random screen shots. It doesn’t matter if the image on the screen comes from YouTube, from storage on the hard drive, or from an auxiliary device like a portable drive.

In the past, our service would capture web addresses. Today, the Screen Accountability™ service does exactly what its name implies – it is providing accountability for what appears on the screen.



On Android™ phones and tablets the same thing occurs. Screenshots are taken at random moments and it doesn’t matter which app is open.


Does Covenant Eyes monitor Incognito Mode/Private Browsing?

Screen Accountability™ is not turned off when Private Browsing is enabled. Because Screen Accountability does not rely on browsing history, it is still able to take screenshots when Private Browsing is activated. [This is an excerpt from Does Covenant Eyes monitor Incognito Mode/Private Browsing?]
