Grom Social Enterprises, Inc. Announces Redesigned Grom Social App, Debuting This Summer, to Feature Custom Avatars Offering Kids Tips on Responsible Social Media Behavior Utilizing Its Digital Citizenship License Course Grom Social Enterprises, Inc. announced that its redesigned Grom Social app - for kids under the age of 13, brand-safe and debuting this summer - will feature a new, updated version of Grom Educational's proprietary Digital Citizenship License (DCL) course, offered to schools nationwide, as part of the app's new offerings. The DCL mini-lessons will be delivered by custom avatars - which Grom calls Gromatars - that underscore how responsible behavior on social media and the internet is so vital to one's safety and security. The DCL Gromatars were announced by Grom's Founder, Zach Marks. Designed for kids under 13, who are typically barred from social media without parental consent, the new Grom app prompts users to create their own original social media profile avatar after a parent or caregiver signs a child up. Once parental consent is confirmed, the new user will be directed to create an original, custom social media profile avatar or "Gromatar" (no photos of kids are allowed). Each user can create their own profile image using the app's deep library of personalized assets including hairstyles, apparel, footwear, and other accessories. For the DCL content, Grom will create custom Gromatars that offer instructions on how to be respectful of one another while safeguarding privacy when using social media, and why bullying and inappropriate language are acceptable. The original Gromatars will be gradually introduced to Grom's feed this summer and be updated with new content and characters regularly. The new Gromatars are inspired by the Company's corporate sibling, Grom Educational Services, which offers the Digital Citizenship Licensing (DCL) course for K-12 school customers nationwide who utilize the company's NetSpective web filter solution. In schools, the DCL program is a series of instructional short-form videos, followed by a brief quiz to ensure student comprehension, and serves to complement in-classroom learning about internet and social media safety. The DCL also helps schools operate in compliance with the Children's Internet Safety Protection Act (CIPA), enacted by Congress in 2000 and designed to address concerns about children's access to illicit or harmful content. CIPA requires K-12 Schools and libraries to certify their Internet safety policies must include monitoring the online activities of minors, and as required by the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, it also provides for educating minors about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, as well as cyberbullying awareness and response to qualify for e-rate funding discounts. Grom Educational's Netspective Web Filter solution, proprietary web filtering software that safeguards students from objectionable material, along with the updated DCL course provides a complete package to help educators meet all CIPA requirements. Additionally, Grom Social Enterprises operates Grom Social, a monitored social media app for kids under 13 who are routinely barred from most social media without parental consent.

Grom Social Enterprises, Inc. Announces May Release of Newly Designed COPPA-Compliant Grom Social App Featuring Enhanced Safety Measures for Parents and New Interface Brimming with Fun Just for Kids Grom Social Enterprises, Inc. announced the early May launch of its highly-anticipated and completely redesigned COPPA-compliant (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) social media app just for kids, Grom Social. The culmination of several months of redesigning its interface and sign-up process, the new Grom app places primary emphasis on several new features to further ensure the safety of its users while boasting fun to both engage kids and educate them about the growing importance of embracing digital safety habits at a young age. The new Grom app will debut in iOS beginning in early May, with the updated interface for Android users slated to premier at a later date. The updated Grom Social app comes with a brand-new look, feel, and experience with all the safety integrations today's kids deserve and need. Existing users and their parents will migrate from the current experience to immediately enjoy Grom's exciting new environment and interface. Leading the new safety features will be a new parent-child video verification process that ensures that parents and caregivers have granted consent to their child. Additionally, Grom's new 3D avatar asset library allows kids to create their own profile avatar using hundreds of assets featuring a variety of complexions, hairstyles, clothing, accessories, animations, and more. The app's new camera allows users to create and post videos utilizing the latest in augmented reality (AR) technology. When it comes to safety, Grom incorporates the latest advancements in online safety measures, ensuring compliance with COPPA regulations and providing parents with enhanced control and monitoring features. Despite the challenges posed by the evolving digital landscape, Grom remains dedicated to creating a safe and enjoyable online environment for children worldwide. Parents can have full confidence in their child's digital experience with Grom's parent monitoring features, through which parents will have full control of their child's profile, and view every post, comment, message, and friend. Additionally, parents can limit their child's screen time and will be promptly notified if their child has violations the app's rules on digital citizenship. Children under 13 are legally barred from social media without a parent's permission to protect them from content intended for older consumers and prevent the use or sale of their data. Grom never sells its user's data. Grom Social, which began as a website in 2012, and was upconverted to a mobile app in 2018, is designed to help parents teach their kids about safe social media in a fully secure environment exclusively for kids under 13. Grom offers a fun, escapist atmosphere where kids can be kids and also access short-form content through the app's Digital Citizenship Licensing (DCL) course (coming later this year), in which they get interactive lessons on the importance of digital safety and navigating online environments. Today, Grom Social serves as the model social media for kids 13 and in 2016, inspired Grom Educational Services, which helps protect kids when in online learning environments and on school-issued devices through its NetSpective web filter solution.
