📄️ Player Location and Age
In order to implement k-ID age verification and consent workflows, the game must acquire two pieces of information about the player: their location (or jurisdiction) and their age.
📄️ Handling Under-Age Users Without Parental Consent
If a player gives an age that requires parental consent, the game must determine what to do before consent is granted by a parent. There are several possible approaches, including blocking access entirely and waiting on the parental consent challenge screen, or granting limited access to a “data-lite” experience of the game.
📄️ Matching k-ID Permissions to Game Features
Permissions in the k-ID Global Compliance Database represent classifications of game features that are addressed in regulations in one or more jurisdictions worldwide. Permissions are configured in the Developer Portal for the game. Each k-ID Permission that matches a game feature should be enabled in the k-ID Developer Portal (shown below). The k-ID Permissions chosen will be presented to parents to enable or disable when they give consent for a child to play a game.
📄️ Time-based Authentication
k-ID implements sophisticated time-based authentication mechanisms across its various verification and consent flows to ensure security while maintaining usability. These time-sensitive elements help protect against unauthorized access attempts while providing reasonable windows for legitimate users to complete required actions.
