For parents

How Bazoodle keeps kids safe: no chat, preset reactions only, guests save nothing, content ratings, moderation and what we collect.

Bazoodle is a place to play and make games together, and kids’ safety comes before anything else we could build. There is no text or voice chat, only a few preset reactions. We never ask for a real name, address, phone number or school, and guests can play without giving us anything.

Every shared game is sorted into a rating (kid-friendly, teen or mature) and checked before anyone else can play it. Guests, and anyone whose age we do not know, only see kid-friendly games. Players can report a game or a player with one tap, and block anyone at any time.

Accounts are for people 13 and older for now, and children under 13 play as guests. We collect as little as we can: a birth month and year (never shown to anyone), a sign-in ID, a username, and game progress, friends and settings. We never ask for a real name, address, phone number, school or photo, and we do not sell personal data.

Our checks are not perfect. Most checking is automatic, so a game can slip through and a harmless game can be turned down. That is why every player can report a game or a player with one tap, and why every turn-down comes with a reason. If your child sees something that should not be there, please report it or write to help@bazoodle.com.
