What should schools check before using Kiddle?

Use the public-page privacy and security signals here, then compare student-data terms, SSO settings, roster access, retention policy, parent consent, and district controls.

Why does the report show kiddle.co instead of another domain?

We tested kiddle.co because it is the website address selected for this report.

What should I compare before choosing Kiddle alternatives?

Compare the same evidence categories: rendered requests, ad-domain matches, tracker-domain matches, cookies, security headers, external checks, and whether each alternative fits the same user task.

Can Blockify guarantee that this website is safe?

No. Blockify can reduce ads, trackers, and pop-ups in the browser, but no scan can guarantee every page, account flow, future visit, or personalized state is safe.
