authorizing by the local application, the request for the data based on the identified policy.

9. The method for providing policy-controlled access on an internet connected network of claim 8 , further comprising:

generating by the mid-link server using machine learning algorithms, user behavior analysis based on the third-party content on the client device;

providing by the mid-link server to the client device, the user behavior analysis; and

rendering on the client device, the user behavior analysis.

10. The method for providing policy-controlled access on an internet connected network of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of policies is set by one or more parent users.

generating by the mid-link server, advertisements based on the third-party content browsed on the client device; and

rendering the advertisements on the client device.

12. The method for providing policy-controlled access on an internet connected network of claim 8 , further comprising:

generating by the mid-link server using machine learning algorithms, rules based on the third-party content; and

providing the rules for rendering on the client device.

13. The method for providing policy-controlled access on an internet connected network of claim 8 , further comprising:

generating by the mid-link server using machine learning algorithms, an aggregate score for the third-party content based on the policy;

comparing the aggregate score with a threshold value; and

based on the comparison, either permitting or blocking the request for the data.

14. The method for providing policy-controlled access on an internet connected network of claim 8 , wherein the third-party content includes Domain Name System (DNS)/Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of websites browsed or streamed by the child user and/or applications downloaded or installed by the child user.
