Boston, Massachusetts, July 19, 2024 – Modulate, the prosocial voice intelligence company, and k-ID, a pioneering platform for safe and age-appropriate gaming experiences, today announced a strategic partnership aimed at revolutionizing the landscape of online safety and compliance in the gaming industry.
This partnership will unite Modulate’s cutting-edge ToxMod voice moderation system with k-ID’s robust compliance platform, giving clients a solution that ensures safe, enjoyable, and compliant gaming experiences for players of all ages.
“Modulate's vision – to foster healthy online communities – aligns perfectly with k-ID’s mission to democratize access to safe, age-appropriate experiences online,” said Mike Pappas, CEO and co-founder of Modulate. “Platforms need to understand who their users are, what the age-appropriate experiences for them are, and obtain all of that information in a compliant, privacy preserving and secure way. k-ID's platform is the first of its kind to make this possible around the world, and we're thrilled to be partnering with them to offer these two essential safety services together.”
k-ID’s Global Compliance Engine and Family Platform, designed by industry leaders in online safety, privacy, and gaming, provides a seamless experience for game developers to comply with complex regulations across 200+ markets and for parents to enjoy peace of mind while their kids game. By leveraging k-ID’s solutions, developers can ensure age-appropriate, parent-endorsed gaming experiences, reducing the burden of regulatory compliance and enhancing the safety of younger players.
Modulate’s ToxMod technology, known for its proactive and real-time voice moderation capabilities, will complement k-ID’s offerings by monitoring and addressing age-inappropriate behavior when voice communications are enabled for players. Working together, these technologies will improve player experiences and provide a holistic approach to online safety, from sign-up to in-game interactions.
“We are excited to partner with Modulate to further our mission of creating a safer and more enjoyable online environment for kids and teens,” said Kieran Donovan, CEO and co-founder of k-ID. “Our combined offering today efficiently takes care of a lot of compliance and safety issues for game developers and publishers, and we look forward to working with Modulate and our shared clients to innovate and create even smoother and more effective online safety experiences in games.”
