We have some news we're proud to share: BrightCanary has earned the APA Labs Digital Badge, recognizing our commitment to clinical evidence, ethical standards, data privacy, and child safety.
We're also part of the inaugural cohort of the APA Labs Digital Badge Solutions Library. This new, searchable collection of independently reviewed digital health tools was launched by the American Psychological Association.
The APA Labs Digital Badge program was created to help people — parents, mental health professionals, health systems, and others — identify digital tools they can trust.
Earning the badge is a big deal because products are measured across several categories, including clinical alignment, regulatory compliance, and data privacy standards. BrightCanary was evaluated with a hands-on assessment by independent digital health evaluators working with licensed psychologists, data privacy experts, and health technology engineers. APA experts in psychological science complete the final reviews.
If you're a mental health professional who works with families navigating digital parenting challenges, you can find us in the APA’s Digital Badge Solution Library. At launch, only six tools received the badge — and BrightCanary is one of them.
We built BrightCanary because we believe parents deserve a monitoring tool that's trustworthy, transparent, and grounded in how kids actually communicate online.
Earning this badge is evidence of what we've always aimed to deliver: a product that takes your family's data seriously, operates ethically, and is designed to support your child's well-being, not just monitor their activity.
“As parents ourselves, we know how much it matters to trust the tools you put in your home,” said Karl Stillner, CEO of BrightCanary. “Earning the APA Labs Digital Badge is a meaningful recognition that we're building something that meets a real, rigorous standard.”
