In collaboration with Moms With Apps, an energetic and growing group of family-focused app developers, we’re pleased to offer the Kids’ Badge for Apps, which gives parents an at-a-glance understanding of what goes on inside their apps. Here’s what a badge looks like:
The process for creating the badge is dead simple and takes only a few seconds.
Here’s what you should keep in mind:
- Each possible badge combination is available on Amazon S3 with a unique link for embedding. Or feel free to take the image and embed it directly.
- This is not a substitute for a privacy policy or parental consent (when required under COPPA). We suggest that wherever you present the badge, it should be linked to your full privacy policy, and we provide you with the code you need to do so. If don’t already have a privacy policy or want to upgrade your policy, just continue through the process after setting up your badge.
- We suggest that you place the badge on the website where you promote your app, so parents can see it before they decide whether to download the app. Hopefully the time will come when the app stores also will make room for this kind of visual element in the app store.
- This is version 1.0. Please share your comments and suggestions.
