Smart Sheriff is a cybersecurity app.[1]

In 2015 the BBC News reported that the government of South Korea "ruled that people under 19 who buy a smartphone must install an app that monitors their web activity."[1] South Korea had prepared the Smart Sheriff app, one approved to perform the monitoring it required, although people could order alternate apps.

The BBC reports the app monitors the youthful smartphone owners' web searches for terms like "threat", "run away from home", "pregnancy", and "crazy".[1]
