Trusted adult preferences

Trusted adults can configure preferences for how they want to manage consent and permissions for their children. These preferences are configured in Family Connect and affect how consent challenges are presented and processed.

What are trusted adult preferences?​

Trusted adult preferences allow parents and guardians to:

  • Set default permission preferences for their children
  • Configure how they want to be notified about consent requests
  • Manage consent settings across multiple games and products
  • Set preferences for how permissions are managed

Configuring preferences​

Trusted adult preferences are configured in the k-ID Family Connect portal. These preferences can be set at different levels:

  • Global preferences: Preferences that apply across all games and products
  • Product-specific preferences: Preferences that apply to a specific game or product
  • Child-specific preferences: Preferences that apply to a specific child

Preference types​

Trusted adults can configure preferences for:

  • Default permissions: Which permissions should be enabled or turned off by default
  • Notification preferences: How they want to be notified about consent requests (email, SMS)
  • Consent duration: How long consent should remain valid
  • Permission management: Whether they want to approve each permission individually or in groups

Using preferences in your integration​

When a trusted adult grants consent, their preferences are applied to the session. The preferences affect:

  • Which permissions are enabled by default
  • How future consent requests are handled
  • How permission changes are managed

You don't need to implement preference logic yourself - k-ID handles this automatically based on the preferences configured in Family Connect.

Accessing preferences​

Trusted adult preferences aren't directly exposed through the API. Instead, they're applied automatically when:

  • A consent challenge is created
  • A session is created or updated
  • Permissions are upgraded

The preferences are considered when determining which permissions are enabled and how consent challenges are presented.
