Common pitfalls for solo & small-team devs
Under-declared audience
Marking a game "for everyone" when its art style, theme, or marketing clearly appeals to kids is a common — and easily flagged — mismatch.
Ad SDKs left in default mode
Most ad and analytics SDKs serve personalized ads unless you explicitly flip a child-directed setting. It's an easy step to miss when you're focused on shipping.
No privacy policy at all
Any data collection — even just analytics — usually means you need a public privacy policy. Plenty of small releases ship without one.
No gate in front of purchases or links
In-app purchases and outbound links reachable by a child player are expected to sit behind a simple parental gate.
None of this requires a legal team to get right — it mostly requires knowing what to check before you submit. That's what this tool is for.
What it checks
Six areas, tailored to your answers
Data collection
What you gather, and what needs extra care for a child audience.
Ad & analytics SDKs
Child-directed config notes for Unity Ads, AdMob, ironSource, and more.
Store page
Steam content descriptors, itch.io tags, and audience declarations.
Age gates
Where you need one, and how to word it so it doesn't teach kids to lie.
Child-directed rules
COPPA/GDPR-K specifics: chat, UGC, and parental consent triggers.
Docs
A generated privacy policy draft, filled in from your answers.
This tool gives general, informational guidance based on common platform and regulatory requirements — it is not legal advice. For anything high-stakes (real-money purchases, sensitive data, a large userbase), talk to a lawyer familiar with games and children's privacy law.
