About
Leading purpose-built, privacy-compliant advertising platform for children and family audiences in mobile gaming and apps
Kidoz is a specialized AdTech platform focused exclusively on the children's and family digital media segment. Operating as a privacy-first advertising network, Kidoz enables brands and advertisers to reach kids, parents, and families through mobile games and apps in a brand-safe, fully compliant environment. The platform adheres strictly to COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and GDPR-K (the child-specific provisions of GDPR), making it one of the few ad networks purpose-built for the regulatory complexities of marketing to minors. Kidoz offers a suite of tools including a demand-side platform (DSP), a publisher SDK for app and game developers, and a managed advertising marketplace. Advertisers can run contextual, non-behavioral campaigns targeting children and family audiences across thousands of kid-friendly apps and games globally. The platform does not rely on personal data collection or behavioral profiling, instead using contextual and content-based targeting to deliver relevant ads safely. Kidoz is publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker KIDZ and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with additional operations in Israel. In the AdTech ecosystem, Kidoz occupies a unique and defensible niche as regulatory scrutiny around children's data privacy intensifies globally. With major platforms like YouTube and Google facing significant COPPA-related fines, brands increasingly seek compliant, purpose-built solutions for reaching younger demographics. Kidoz's combination of regulatory expertise, a curated publisher network of child-safe apps, and a privacy-by-design architecture positions it as the go-to platform for family-focused advertising campaigns.
