Relationships
Account Administrator (Admin): this individual is in charge of the account and is usually selected during sign-up. If he/she wishes to relinquish control of the account to someone else, then a) the current Admin must contact Member Care to authorize the switch and b) the new Admin must contact the Member Care team to formally accept the Admin role.
Ally: a person who receives the report(s). This role is selected by the member or the Account Administrator. An ally is able to a) adjust report frequency, b) generate an online report 24/7, and c) receive reports for more than one member. An ally does not have to subscribe to Covenant Eyes or install anything, he/she just needs to create a username.
Filter Guardian: a person who controls the Filter settings for themselves or another member. This role can be selected by either the member or the Account Administrator. A Filter Guardian can adjust the Blocking level and control the Custom Website List. A Filter Guardian does not have to pay for Covenant Eyes or install anything, he/she just needs to create a username.
Member: someone using the Covenant Eyes services. There is no limit for how many devices they may use. They can send their report to as many allies as they like.

Services
Accountability: With your permission, our technology monitors your screen(s) and produces a report for a person (an ally) of your choosing.
Filtering: When selected, our program will block access to explicit sites. General filtering is powered by CleanBrowsing. Personalized filtering is available using the Block List and/or the Allow list.
Uninstall Code: The daily code is needed to uninstall Covenant Eyes from both Windows and Mac® computers. The code can be generated by a member with permission to uninstall through their online account. For additional information about the code, read Why can’t I generate an uninstall code?
