The iWatchDog™ Program - What's It All About?

Protection for children and family members in all aspects of life today is of vital concern. Whether television, radio, video games, Internet use, chat rooms, blogs, or the cinema, as each year passes, the risks to family members becomes increasingly dangerous.  There are plenty of organizations doing their part to help in each of the areas listed above but there is only one program in existence which brings virtually every form of communication and entertainment under observation.  That program is the iWatchDog Program, a project developed by ChildSafe International Corp, (CSIC), ( formerly United Federation of ChildSafe Web Sites ).

The iWatchDog Program is a true International program designed to operate on multiple fronts.  Whether an issue be in consumer concerns, or simply a complaint about a chat room, the iWatchDog Program encompasses it and action is taken to help when assistance is needed.

The Heart of The iWatchDog™ Program

A vital key and the very heart of the succesful operation of the iWatchDog Program has been TEAMWORK.  Organizations such as ICRA™, the most widely recognized content labeling system on the Internet, have been instrumental in the success of our program. ICRA provides the most up to date content labeling solution avaiable for Internet content which is recognized globally.  SafeSurf™, the very first content labeling system on the Internet, and numerous other partners particpate in our success as well.  The bottom line is that we all agree on the importance of keeping family members safe from predators, offensive content, and physical harm.  Together we will continue to fight through the iWatchDog Program to have a serious impact in that regard Internationally.

Media content is a vital concern on the Internet today.  Content on a web site can be a valuable asset in the marketing of a product or service and is often overlooked or abused.  The Internet provides freedom of expression and press, but without self-labeling of web site content and a return to dependable quality in a product or service being sold or provided, political intervention and control is inevitable.  The iWatchDog™ Program and ICCS™ Certification gives you back the control and ability to maintain your freedom to avoid any "unpleasant" experiences on and off the Internet and have confidence in a product or service you are purchasing.

There are two options to get certified under the iWatchDog™ Program.  The first is FREE Certification for web sites. Your web site simply needs to be using an ICCS™ Certified rating system, such as ICRA™ or SafeSurf™. The second option is to once again, be using an ICCS™ Certified rating system, but your product or service must be submitted for an evaluation to see if it will rate 5 or higher on a 10 point rating system.  If it meets the strict standards set forth in the certification, approval is granted and the company can then reap the benefits of their product or service being ICCS™ Certified under the iWatchDog™ Program.

PLEASE NOTE!!  SafeSurf rating system is certified under the  iWatchDog™ Program, but the filtering solutions they provide is not.

 

Benefits of the Fee Based iWatchDog™ Program

Ah, the question of benefits.  Having an ICCS™ Certified product or service will enable you to get a mass of exposure on a number of web sites which are specific to the target audience you are trying to reach.  Think about it.. The more successfully we promote your product or service, the greater the value increases of our certification.  By our promoting YOUR product or service, we gain new content that draws more people to our web sites and your branding of your product or service increases dramatically at no additional cost!  In just a few weeks, you will also get exclusive discounts on Theme Parks, Airlines, and many other products and services that will be exclusive to our Fee based certification clients!

The very best benefit of the certification is that mediation for your company in consumer issues is FREE OF CHARGE!!

It is a common know fact that mediation in consumer issues is a massive expense that no company desires to have to contend with.  We will mediate for no charge on all consumer issues to reach a mutual resolve so that the customer will not just be a one time visit but rather will come back for further purchases again in the future. Some companies hold a policy of a money back guarantee which is all well and good BUT, you lose a customer and negative word travels.  With mediation BOTH parties are satisfied and you have a WIN/WIN situation.
