about us

We're on a
Mission

k-ID protects and empowers kids and teens online by enabling games and services to easily create age-appropriate experiences for any user, any age, anywhere in the world. We believe that protecting young users isn't about telling them what they can't do online; it's about empowering them to discover what they can through age-appropriate experiences.

With our proprietary, privacy-preserving technology, k-ID helps companies understand the ages of their users and the applicable laws based on their location. Our solution then  automatically configures the user experience to make it age-appropriate and compliant for each individual user. Our global team of experts in law, privacy, trust, and online safety is dedicated to creating innovative technology that puts kids and teens first, while offering seamless compliance solutions for developers and publishers.

By partnering with parents, guardians, civil society, developers, and platforms, we are building safer, age-appropriate online experiences and laying the foundation for a better digital world—one where the next generation of digital natives can navigate their future with confidence and responsibility.
