Since Kahoot! was launched over a decade ago, our mission has remained clear: to make learning awesome for everyone, everywhere. We believe that when learners are fully engaged and actively participating, it leads to better learning outcomes. But making learning awesome goes beyond engaging content—it also means ensuring a safe, fair, and responsible digital learning environment. That’s why we are excited to share that Kahoot! has been awarded the Gold certification in Ethics by the International Certification of Evidence of Impact in Education (EduEvidence)!
This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to responsible data processing, privacy compliance, and transparency, ensuring that educators, students, and all users can trust Kahoot! as a safe and inclusive learning platform.
The gold benchmark for ethics in educational technology
EduEvidence is a globally recognized certification body specializing in verifying the impact and ethical standards of educational technologies. It assesses products across five critical categories: Efficacy, Effectiveness, Equity, Ethics, and Environment, and works in partnership with many other leading certification providers. For the Ethics category, EduEvidence partnered up with Digital Promise in the USA. Previously, EduEvidence granted Kahoot! the Gold badge in Efficacy and the Gold badge in Equity, showcasing Kahoot! as an evidence-based solution that elevates learning outcomes. Now, Kahoot! has demonstrated a high level of commitment to inclusive and transparent design for all and hence been granted the Gold badge in Ethics.
EduEvidence declares that, “the category of ethics highlights solutions committed to functional, usable and transparent design. The Ethics certification evaluates edtech tools across four key domains: Data Governance and Fairness, Accessibility and Interoperability, Privacy and Inclusivity, and Algorithmic Fairness. The Gold certificate in Ethics demonstrates that the company complies with the national and relevant international data protection and accessibility regulations. In addition to that, the company shows commitment to inclusive and transparent design at an exceptional level.”
This certification from EduEvidence also follows previous accolades in these areas, including 1EdTech’s TrustEd Apps™ Certification for data privacy and interoperability. With recognition from industry-leading organizations and independent research, we are continuing to double-down on Kahoot!’s commitment to excellence—both supporting students’ learning and empowering educators and school and district leaders to achieve their goals.
