Built with your child's safety at the center.
KidsPlaylist wasn't designed with safety added as an afterthought. The entire architecture starts from a single question: how do we make this completely safe for a child? Every feature decision flows from that.
How we protect children
Six concrete, measurable ways KidsPlaylist keeps children safe. Not just policies, but product architecture.
No child accounts, ever
KidsPlaylist is architecturally designed so that children cannot create accounts, cannot log in, and cannot interact with our systems at all. The only account in KidsPlaylist is the parent's, identified only by a family code. Children are not data subjects in our system.
Zero data collected from children
We collect no personal information from children. No names, no ages, no viewing histories, no behavioural data, no location data, no device fingerprints from children. If we don't have it, it can't be lost, sold, or misused. This is not a privacy policy footnote. It is a core product commitment.
COPPA & GDPR-aware design
KidsPlaylist is built in Denmark and designed around European privacy standards from the ground up. GDPR requires data minimisation, purpose limitation, and privacy by design — principles that are baked into our architecture, not added on top. We also follow COPPA guidelines for children under 13. Because we collect no personal data from children at all, compliance is structural, not just a policy.
Parent-only content control
Every video a child sees in KidsPlaylist has been explicitly approved by a parent or guardian. There is no mechanism, algorithmic or otherwise, by which a child can discover, access, or watch content that hasn't been added to their family's approved playlist.
No external links or social features
KidsPlaylist's child-facing player has no external links, no comment sections, no share buttons, no like/dislike interactions, and no pathways to wider YouTube. It is a closed, contained environment. What you add is what they watch.
Transparent third-party usage
We use two third-party services: Stripe for payment processing (they never interact with child data) and Upstash for data storage (family codes and playlists only, no child data stored). That's it. No analytics platforms, no advertising networks, no data brokers.
Complete parent control
KidsPlaylist empowers parents with real, meaningful control, not the illusion of it.
Curated playlist management
The parent dashboard lets you add any YouTube video by URL and remove any video at will. Changes propagate to all family devices in seconds.
Family code control
Only you know your family code. If you need to change access for any reason, simply reset your family code from the parent dashboard. The old code becomes invalid immediately.
No independent child access
Children cannot add to or modify the playlist. The only way videos enter the KidsPlaylist experience is through parent approval. Kids cannot "unlock" new content.
Subscription management
Start, pause, or cancel your subscription any time. Your family's playlist is retained for 30 days after cancellation in case you change your mind.
Our content philosophy
KidsPlaylist does not prescribe what is "appropriate" for your child. We believe parents, not algorithms, not platform policies, not corporate guidelines, are best placed to decide what their children watch. Our role is to enforce those decisions, not to make them.
The video content in KidsPlaylist comes entirely from YouTube. We do not host video ourselves, and we do not make editorial judgements about which YouTube videos are suitable. That responsibility belongs to you, the parent. You watch it first, you decide it's appropriate, you add it. KidsPlaylist then ensures that's all your child ever sees.
This model has a significant advantage: it scales with your family's values. Whether you want strictly educational content, a mix of entertainment and learning, or a broad playlist of age-appropriate fun, KidsPlaylist serves that vision without imposing its own.
What we do take a position on: we will never show algorithmic recommendations, we will never recommend content algorithmically, and we will never collect data from children. These are the lines that define what KidsPlaylist is.

Our privacy policy is written in plain language, not legal jargon. It's short enough to read in five minutes and honest enough to stand on its own.
