ANGUILLA, BWI / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2021 / Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KIDZ) (the "Company"), AdTech software developer and owner of the privacy focussed KIDOZ Safe Ad Network (www.kidoz.net), the KIDOZ Kid-Mode Operating System, the KIDOZ publisher SDK, and the Rooplay edu-games platform, announced today that the Company should benefit from the recent changes resulting from the release of iOS 14.5 by Apple and the new restrictions in the use of Apple device IDs (IDFA) in mobile advertising.
"The Kidoz mobile network does not use Device IDs (IDFA), Personal Identifiable Information (PII), or other unique identifiers to operate successfully," stated Jason Williams, Kidoz Co-CEO. "Therefore, Apple's iOS 14.5 feature, App Tracking Transparency, which requires users to grant access to ad networks to use their device ID, has no impact on our market leading Safe Ad Network. Kidoz uses a proprietary contextual targeting system that ensures complete privacy, safety, and compliance for every user, publisher, and advertiser using the Kidoz Safe Ad Network. As Kidoz does not use customer data as part of our advertising system, our operation is not affected by the inability to exploit user or device data. The Kidoz contextual network is growing rapidly on all platforms and is now reaching more than 300,000,000 users a month."
As a leading provider of advertising technology for companies looking to safely reach children and families on mobile platforms, Kidoz offers a huge inventory of video, display, and interactive advertising. The key differentiator of Kidoz from other mobile networks is that Kidoz advertising does not use data trackers such as location information, device identifiers, behavioural data, and other signals that track users across the Internet. Examples of these trackers include IDFA (Identifiers for Advertisers) from Apple and AAID (Google Advertising ID) from Google. Kidoz does not utilize these trackers and curates the ads to ensure appropriate advertising reaches kids.
"With iOS 14.5, cross-device tracking, retargeting and performance attribution are three measures that will be lost on iOS devices. However, as Kidoz is a network for brand advertisers who are interested in building brand awareness and engagement with customers, we believe our contextual targeting will be their preferred marketing strategy.
"Kidoz is a dedicated AdTech developer that is completely focussed on creating the largest safe, private, and high-performance mobile ad network." said Eldad Ben Tora, Kidoz Co-CEO. "We've listened to our advertisers who want mobile inventory with the greatest reach and widest variety combined with full-service transparency and brand safety. As a contextual network free of data targeting, we build value and trust with advertisers by facilitating pre-campaign contextual app list planning, live campaign optimisations, and detailed post-campaign reporting and analysis. Our strategy, continues to succeed in this dynamic digital advertising environment and we're excited to be expanding our team and launching many new exciting projects in 2021."
