Kids Mode in Android SDK

If your Android application is intended for kids, you must follow the policies of Google. If you're using the Adapty SDK, a few simple steps will help you configure it to meet these policies and pass app store reviews.

What's required?​

You need to configure the Adapty SDK to disable the collection of:

In addition, we recommend using customer user ID carefully. User ID in format <FirstName.LastName> will be definitely treated as gathering personal data as well as using email. For Kids Mode, a best practice is to use randomized or anonymized identifiers (e.g., hashed IDs or device-generated UUIDs) to ensure compliance.

Enabling Kids Mode​

Updates in the Adapty Dashboard​

In the Adapty Dashboard, you need to disable the IP address collection. To do this, go to App settings and click Disable IP address collection under Collect users' IP address.

Updates in your mobile app code​

To comply with policies, you need to disable the collection of the Android Advertising ID (AAID/GAID) and IP address when initializing the Adapty SDK:

Kotlin:

override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    Adapty.activate(
      applicationContext,
      AdaptyConfig.Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
          .withAdIdCollectionDisabled(true) // set to `true`
          .withIpAddressCollectionDisabled(true) // set to `true`
          .build()
    )  
}

Java:

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    Adapty.activate(
      applicationContext,
      new AdaptyConfig.Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
          .withAdIdCollectionDisabled(true) // set to `true`
          .withIpAddressCollectionDisabled(true) // set to `true`
          .build()
    );
}
