Inculab plus, operator of KidsTopia, has earned the kidSAFE SAFE CERTIFIED Seal under the global child online safety program… strengthened chat filters, personal-info masking, and AI interaction safeguards

09-15-2026
Inculab plus, operator of the AI kids service KidsTopia, announced that it has earned the kidSAFE SAFE CERTIFIED Seal after completing the review under the global child online safety program, the kidSAFE Seal Program.
The kidSAFE Seal Program reviews online safety practices of digital services used by children, including websites and mobile apps. KidsTopia previously received the kidSAFE LISTED Seal and has now advanced to the kidSAFE SAFE CERTIFIED Seal following a review of its safety practices.

A Growing Global Platform

Spun off from LG U+, Inculab plus operates KidsTopia, an edutainment platform where children can play and learn, explore virtual spaces, interact with friends, and engage with AI characters. The service is available in 11 countries, including Korea, the United States, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore. As KidsTopia expands globally, Inculab plus has made child safety and privacy key priorities in building a trusted environment for children and parents.

Strengthened Safety Framework

During certification, KidsTopia strengthened its safety framework in line with kidSAFE guidance. Improvements include enhanced chat filters, automatic detection and masking of suspected personal information such as names and addresses, improved user reporting, and real-time delivery of filtering and reporting events to the moderation team.

AI Interaction Safeguards

KidsTopia also strengthened safeguards for AI interactions. The service informs children when they are interacting with an AI character to prevent confusion with a real person, and provides break reminders after consecutive interactions to encourage safer AI use.

CEO Comment

Mingu Kim, CEO of Inculab plus, stated: "For KidsTopia to grow as a global service, it is essential to provide engaging content alongside a safe, trustworthy environment."
