The story

“Gone are the days when we, as children, used to spend our days and vacations playing outside. The internet has altered everything, and we didn’t want our children to become engrossed with it. We are online more than ever during this Covid-19 pandemic. Social media is on the rise, and we must exercise extreme caution when it comes to our children’s use of the internet. During this time, we spent time researching, and Zootom sprang to mind as a way for us to allow our children to enjoy social media without worry of cyberbullying.”

The key features

Building a better future together

Kids accounts are created by parents

Kid’s in the age group of 6 – 12 need their parents present in the video for account creation.

No name sharing, just usernames

Everyone is represented by a username and no personal information is ever shared with public.

Addictive behaviour warning

We prompt our users to limit screen time to a maximum of two hours to prevent addictive behaviour patterns.

Separate community for kids & teens

We have created separate environs for each age group to communicate freely with their own peers.

Why us?

safe-socialnetworking

Safe social networking platform

Zootom is the only app that provides global access for kids and teens with safety protocols. There is a growing need for child-friendly social networks, the kind that parents are happy to introduce to their kid’s. Zootom is our exclusive app where kids can enjoy social networking without fear of cyber bullying. Parents get information about their kids’ activity via email to make sure they are enjoying Zootom safely. This includes new friend requests, posts, comments, and chats.

The power of video verification 

Safer social networking requires more sophisticated security measures and Zootom uses innovative measures to help keep their users protected. As part of this security, Zootom’s video verification process, provides an additional layer of protection by requiring kids & teens to present a short introductory video which, our moderators will manually verify. Kids aged 6 – 12, are required to have a video verified with their parents alongside them.

24/7 moderation

Zootom understands how important safety is and our users have the power to report anything uploaded to the app. This includes but is not limited to content within posts, comments, chats or profiles. Every submission is investigated by one of our moderators and, if upheld, disciplinary action is taken that could ultimately mean that the offending account will be permanently removed. Zootom also reserves the right to make reports to the appropriate authorities when necessary.

Designed to entertain

Zootom is a fun app to use with all modern social networking elements that you may enjoy without worrying about cyberbullying.

Zootom is incredibly easy to use, and we have taken all necessary precautions to keep our customers safe while using our app.

Zootom was created for kids and teenagers all over the world to have a unique approach and to help them interact with one another.
