Today, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with ConnectSafely to build a safer metaverse. ConnectSafely is a leading online safety organization dedicated to educating people about safety, privacy, security and digital wellness with a special emphasis on youth, seniors, marginalized communities, parents, educators, and policymakers.  

We recognize that our community needs to feel the ZEPETO app is truly safe to celebrate their creativity, freedom of expression, and meaningful connections. Building a trustworthy platform for our users requires empowering our community with resources they can leverage to fully enjoy the benefits of ZEPETO, as well as manage safety risks.

ZEPETO’s  partnership with ConnectSafely will equip our users with informative guides and safety tips, as well as ensure that all of our features, products, policies and processes are driven with user safety as our highest priority.

Building a safer metaverse is a mission shared by global multi-stakeholders and requires collective action. ZEPETO is committed to working with expert organizations in online and family safety to protect our platform from abuse and provide trustworthy resources and research-based tools to our community.

Thank you,

By Elyse Lee, PMP, Head of Trust and Safety Policy and Partnership
