Hi there chefboyardeee,
Google's "Incognito" mode is entirely different than Apple's Screen Time. Looking at the help page for Google, it does show "Your school, Internet Service Provider, or any parental tracking software may be able to see your activity." This is from this page: How Chrome Incognito keeps your browsing private
For additional information, you'll want to reach out to Google.
If you want to restrict access to the Google app, you can do so with parental controls:
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
These steps apply to third-party installed apps also:
Allow built-in apps and features
You can restrict the use of built-in apps or features. If you turn off an app or feature, the app or feature won't be deleted, it's just temporarily hidden from your Home Screen. For example, if you turn off Mail, the Mail app won't appear on your Home Screen until you turn it back on.
To change your Allowed Apps:
1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions.
3. Enter your Screen Time passcode.
4. Tap Allowed Apps.
5. Select the apps that you want to allow.
Take care!
