Using an Accountability Partner
If you have Canopy Shield installed on your own device and want to ensure you cannot bypass the filter, unblock sites, or adjust screen time settings on impulse, you may want to use an Accountability Partner.
An Accountability Partner is someone you trust—such as a family member or close friend—who will manage your content settings for you. They will have access to your Canopy Shield dashboard and will be responsible for approving or denying changes to your settings.
How to Set Up an Accountability Partner
- Choose a trusted partner – This should be someone who will support your commitment to a safe online experience.
- Share access to your Canopy account:
- Send them one of these links to download the Canopy app:
- If they prefer to manage settings from a computer, send them the link to the Canopy Web Dashboard.
- Privately share your Canopy login credentials – Provide them with your username and password.
- Have your partner log in and change the password – Once they access the account, they should update the password so that only they can manage the settings.
What Your Accountability Partner Can Do
Once set up, your Accountability Partner will be able to:
✔ Approve or deny website and app unblocking requests
✔ Manage filter settings
✔ Control Screen Time and Downtime settings
✔ Ensure the filter remains active at all times
By using an Accountability Partner, you can strengthen your commitment to a safer digital experience and avoid acting on impulse to bypass the filter.
