Kidoz Inc. Highlights Growing Importance of Advertising Without Personal Data Tracking Due to Age Verification Requirements

About this update from Kidoz Inc

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2026 / Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KDOZ)(OTCQB:KDOZF), a brand-safe advertising platform powered by contextual AI, enabling advertising performance without personal data tracking, today commented on the implications of expanding age verification and child protection requirements across the United States. Recent legislation in Texas, where the Texas Governor signed the online child safety bill requiring Apple and Google to ensure that their app stores verify the age of users alongside similar initiatives emerging in other jurisdictions, Utah and Louisiana and other countries such as France and Australia, reflects a broader shift toward age-aware digital experiences.

Google's recently announced Play Age Signals API provides eligible developers with age-related signals intended to support age-appropriate experiences in certain jurisdictions. Similar tools are expected to become increasingly common as digital platforms continue to evolve their approach to age awareness and child safety. Apple's recent WWDC announcements reinforce this trend.

Originally built to protect kids, Kidoz pioneered kid-safe advertising in mobile gaming. The Company's platform enables developers to monetize under-13 audiences without personal data tracking, behavioural profiling, or identity-based targeting. "As digital platforms become increasingly age-aware, developers and advertisers are navigating a changing operating environment," said Jason Williams, Chief Exec...
