Is the baby monitor app safe? Privacy and security in practice

This is one of the most important questions parents have before installation, and it's great that you're asking it. When your baby is sleeping, you want to not only have an overview, but also have peace of mind that everything is working safely.

What the app really protects and what is up to you
