IParentalControlsPreferenceReader

Interface for reading parental controls preferences including the overall enablement state as well as the current media content restriction level.

However, regardless of whether parental controls is enabled, querying the preference state of getContentRestrictionLevel returns the user's preference for when parental controls is enabled. When isEnabled() == false , content restrictions are not actively enforced by Parental Controls.

All parental controls preferences are device-local.
