Apple App Store Kids Category ↔ GDPR
2 canonical controls in Keel’s library satisfy clauses of both Apple App Store Kids Category and GDPR. Implement each once, attach the evidence once, and it counts toward each standard. The overlap is the work you don’t repeat.
Controls that satisfy both
| Canonical control | Apple App Store Kids Category clauses | GDPR clauses |
|---|---|---|
|
Verifiable parental consent
Verifiable parental consent is obtained and recorded before a child’s personal information is collected, used or disclosed, using a method reasonably calculated to confirm the person consenting is the parent, with separate consent for disclosure to third parties. Note that an app-store parental gate is not the same thing as verifiable parental consent, and neither substitutes for the other.
|
5.1.4(a)/birthdate-parental-contact | Art.8(1), Art.8(2) |
|
Minimised collection in children’s activities
Games, prize offerings and other activities aimed at children are reviewed so participation is never conditioned on disclosing more personal information than the activity reasonably needs, and the technical identifiers and location signals the app stores prohibit in children’s apps are neither collected nor transmitted.
|
1.3/no-third-party-transfer | Art.5(1) |

Why this is one project, not two
On a crosswalk-native model, GDPR mostly lights up controls you already built for Apple App Store Kids Category. You’re not re-uploading the same screenshot for a second audit. You apply the framework and see the genuine delta worth working. That’s the whole idea behind collect once, comply everywhere.
