Abstract
Technologies to facilitate supervision of an online identify include a gateway server to facilitate and monitor access to an online service by a user of a “child” client computer device. The gateway server may include an identity manager to receive a request for access to the online service from the client computing device, retrieve access information to the online service, and facilitate access to the online service for the client computing device using the access information. The access information is kept confidential from the user. The gateway server may also include an activity monitor module to control activity between the client computing device and the online service based on the set of policy rules of a policy database. The gateway server may transmit notifications of such activity to a “parental” client computing device for review and/or approval, which also may be used to update the policy database.
