When does Bark send an alert?
If Bark finds a potential issue in your child's online activities, you and your notification contacts will receive an email, text, or app alert along with a snippet of the conversation or media for your review.
Note Bark alerts are not sent in real time. It may take some time to receive notifications as we analyze context, not just keywords.
We also include tips on how to handle the situation.

Email notifications look like this. Click on Review alerts to log in and check on the alert.
Note When we email contacts about alerts, they will need to log in with the main Bark account's email and password to finish reviewing the alert. This is because of our security policies.
