Creating apps and games for children and families
Protecting kids and safeguarding their privacy is a responsibility we all share. When designing a great experience for children and families, it's important to keep in mind the policies and requirements on Google Play.
Things to consider
- Carefully consider who your app is for before you declare the age of your target audience
- If your target audience includes children, comply with our Families policies
- If your target audience doesn't include children, make sure your marketing doesn't unintentionally attract them
