About BlackBerry Guardian

BlackBerry Guardian evaluates all apps and games in BlackBerry World before they're made available for downloading.
BlackBerry Guardian is designed to protect you from downloading apps and games that might include malicious software
or privacy concerns. The BlackBerry Guardian icon in the BlackBerry World storefront indicates that the app or game has
been evaluated for malicious software or privacy concerns.
BlackBerry Guardian also incorporates technology from software security leader Trend Micro. BlackBerry Guardian is
constantly evolving to help identify the most advanced forms of malicious software and privacy concerns.
If malicious software is discovered in an app or game after it's available, the app or game is removed from BlackBerry
World.

Using Parental Controls

Parental Controls are designed to give you more control over how a BlackBerry device can be used and contacted. You can
turn off access to certain apps, features, and content. You can also restrict incoming phone calls and messages to people
in the Contacts app.
Parental Controls settings are protected with a password, making them difficult to change or turn off without your
knowledge. You can set your device so that the Parental Controls password is required to add an email or social networking
account, or to purchase an app from the BlackBerry World storefront.
