Kids Mode in Kotlin Multiplatform SDK

If your Kotlin Multiplatform 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:

• IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) (iOS)
• Android Advertising ID (AAID/GAID) (Android)
• IP address

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:

import com.adapty.kmp.Adapty
import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyConfig
import com.adapty.kmp.models.AdaptyLogLevel

override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()

    val config = AdaptyConfig
        .Builder("PUBLIC_SDK_KEY")
        .withGoogleAdvertisingIdCollectionDisabled(true) // set to `true`
        .withIpAddressCollectionDisabled(true)           // set to `true`
        .build()

    Adapty.activate(configuration = config)
        .onSuccess {
            Log.d("Adapty", "SDK initialised with privacy settings")
        }
        .onError { error ->
            Log.e("Adapty", "Adapty init error: ${error.message}")
        }
}
