Zigazoo is kidSAFE COPPA certified, human-moderated, and cares about the well-being of kids.

Zigazoo is the pioneer and leader in safe social media for kids.

Safety by Design 

Two-thirds of kids under 13 report using social media. We believe that they deserve an environment specifically designed to keep them safe. On Zigazoo, this means that:

  • Zigazoo is a kids-only community, verified with world-leading age assurance technology
  • Every child who interacts on Zigazoo has received high-level verifiable parental consent, earning Zigazoo the distinguished COPPA certification from kidSAFE
  • All media is 100% screened for developmental appropriateness with a stringent human-in-the-loop moderation process
  • 100% of the interactivity features are educationally designed to promote positivity and build confidence

Wellness by Design

Appropriate peer-based social media use can provide kids with access to community and support, opportunity for creativity, and a place to learn the skills for healthier social media use in their future. We believe that kids need environments intentionally built to promote wellness. On Zigazoo this looks like:

  • Project- and play-based learning models that encourage creative, active, and authentic posts
  • Community agreements that hold kids accountable for kind, appropriate, and positive behavior
  • Moderated content and communication that protects kids and their innocence
  • Kids are empowered as community leaders to support the positive and safe tone of the platform
  • Education for parents and families about digital citizenship and digital wellness

Zigazoo was founded by two American public school teachers and parents during the pandemic as an outlet for kids to nurture creativity and build authentic relationships with their peers. Built on the tenets of play-based and project-based learning, Zigazoo is designed to bring kids ONLY the best of what social media has to offer.

Zigazoo has received the distinguished COPPA certification from kidSAFE and we are renowned for our sterling safety reputation. It’s why we have had the privilege of partnering with dozens of blue-chip brands including Amazon, Netflix, GAP, Penguin Random House, Apple TV, and Sony. It’s also how we’ve been able to bring on investors including the NBA and Serena Williams’ Serena Ventures.

Zigazoo is kidSAFE COPPA certified — a safe harbor with the FTC — and therefore we undergo yearly audits to ensure we are in compliance with COPPA. As such, we require high level verifiable parental consent for all kid users before they are able to share PII.

Zigazoo’s product was designed with child safety and health in mind. Every detail is thoughtfully developed to ensure each page, video, and interaction is developmentally appropriate for all users. Zigazoo puts every single piece of feed content through a stringent human moderation process and only videos that pass our school-friendly test are viewable.

Zigazoo has the highest ratings from Common Sense Media and Bark, and CNN called Zigazoo the the “example of how to offer a social yet safe place for children to be online.”
