Volpp: Protecting independence while enabling connection

Protect loved ones from online scams without compromising their independence

Volpp (Vulnerable Protection Program) creates a safety net for elderly family members as they navigate the internet, preventing financial exploitation and online scams while preserving their dignity and independence.

What Volpp Does

• Blocks harmful sites with pre-configured protection against known scam websites
• Provides gentle warnings when accessing financial or high-risk websites
• Notifies caregivers when protection measures activate
• Creates communication opportunities between caregivers and loved ones
• Simple setup with minimal disruption to the elder's browsing experience

How It Works

Volpp combines a web app for caregivers with a lightweight browser extension for elders. The extension works quietly in the background, only appearing when needed to block harmful sites or provide warnings about potential risks.

Caregivers receive notifications when protection measures activate, creating natural opportunities to discuss online safety. The comprehensive audit log helps track patterns and identify concerns before they become problems.

Why Volpp Matters

Online scams targeting seniors cause over $3 billion in losses annually, but the damage goes beyond financial harm. Falling victim to scams can cause embarrassment, loss of confidence, and family strain.

Volpp helps preserve both financial security and family relationships by:
• Preventing scams before they happen
• Encouraging open communication about online safety
• Balancing protection with respect for independence
• Creating peace of mind for the entire family

Install Volpp today to protect what matters most: your loved one's security, independence, and your relationship with them.
