Smart Sheriff is a cybersecurity app.[1][2]
In 2015 the BBC News reported that the government of South Korea "ruled that people under 19 who buy a smartphone must install an app that monitors their web activity."[1] South Korea had prepared the Smart Sheriff app, one approved to perform the monitoring it required. Other apps can provide this service, but the Smart Sheriff app is provided for free.[2]
The BBC reports the app monitors the youthful smartphone owners' web searches for terms like "threat", "run away from home", "pregnancy", and "crazy".[1]
After the monitoring and reporting version of the app is installed on the youth's smartphone, a control version of the app is installed on their parents' smartphone.[2] It provides mechanisms for the their parent to choose to block access to websites. It also allows the parent to set time limits on the youth's use of the apps on their smartphone
