# Google Family Safe Apps

{% hint style="info" %}
Gravite/AddApptr is a certified partner within [Google's Families Self-Certified Ads SDK Program](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/12955712?hl=en\&visit_id=638531719479041938-1567309763\&rd=2).

If you plan to publish an app on the Google Playstore that targets (also) children, it must comply with the [Google Play Families Policies](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9893335?hl=en\&ref_topic=9877766\&sjid=1432696947891174286-EU). Amongst others this means to present only family safe ads to children.

There are two scenarios that you need to consider:

## App only targeting Child Audiences

In this case, make sure you only add ad networks into your build (physically) that participate in Google's [Families Self-Certified Ads SDK Program](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/12955712?hl=en\&visit_id=638531719479041938-1567309763\&rd=2). 

Gravite provides a [separate Maven dependency](/android-integration/start/setup/maven.md#markdown-header-family-safe-distribution) to easily accomplish this goal.

Added to this, your app needs to inform AATKit about the child audience to make sure all ad network partners get informed accordingly. Please refer to this [explanation](/android-integration/advanced/child-directed-support.md#to-enable-child-supported-requests-call-the-following-api).

## App targeting Mixed Audiences

If your app targets mixed audiences, you have to determine at runtime what age group the current user is belonging to. Please refer to the [Google Play Families Policies](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9893335?hl=en\&ref_topic=9877766\&sjid=1432696947891174286-EU), specifically provide a [neutral age screen](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9867159?sjid=1432696947891174286-EU\&visit_id=638531736369127374-2980981360\&rd=1#neutral-agescreen). 

In this case, you can use Gravite's [standard Maven dependency](/android-integration/start/setup/maven.md#markdown-header-integrate-aatkit-with-all-standard-a-d-networks) which will include all standard ad networks into your build.

Added to this, if the current user has been determined to be a child, your app needs inform AATKit about the child audience to make sure all ad network partners get informed accordingly and ad networks not participating in Google's [Families Self-Certified Ads SDK Program](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/12955712?hl=en\&visit_id=638531719479041938-1567309763\&rd=2) won't be used. Please refer to this [explanation](/android-integration/advanced/child-directed-support.md#to-enable-child-supported-requests-call-the-following-api).
