Your Kindle Fire has parental controls that block users from accessing certain types of content. Despite the name, parental controls aren't just for children. If you share the Kindle with an employee or business partner, for example, you might use controls to restrict him from buying content with your Amazon Store account. You can turn off all parental controls or enable some while disabling others.
