Responsible use

mSpy is monitoring software meant for parents and guardians of minors and for employers who monitor company-owned devices with the employee's knowledge and consent. Monitoring another adult without their consent is illegal in many countries. Laws differ by country and state, so check the rules that apply to you before you install anything.

Talk openly with children about any monitoring in a way that suits their age, and give employees a written policy and notice before anything is monitored. Where a rule is unclear, ask a lawyer in your country.
