Progress happens when everyone's at the table
Safer digital childhoods require parents and caregivers, teachers, researchers, regulators, advocates, and industry leaders working together. Diverse partnerships unlock progress across all fronts: better products, stronger policies, smarter parenting, more effective education.
OUR PROMISE
Kids come first.
Everything else follows.
Common Sense Media maintains unbiased ratings, independent research, and fearless advocacy. We are proud to partner with companies committed to putting kids first. Our true north will always be: Before we start working together, we ask ourselves:
1
Does this help kids?
Partnerships must measurably improve child safety, privacy, or digital well-being.
2
Can real change happen?
Meaningful influence over products or guidance that affects millions of children is required.
3
Does our independence remain intact?
Our complete editorial and advocacy independence is non-negotiable.
Partners in this work.
What kids watch, read, and listen to shapes who they become tomorrow. We partner with media companies to place our ratings and reviews in the platforms where families are making their decisions. Partners include:
Kaleidescape delivers the world's only high-fidelity movie library with lossless audio and full reference video quality. Common Sense Media's ratings and reviews of movies and TV shows are available on the Kaleidescape platform.
Mackin provides high-quality educational materials and single-source ordering for PK–12th grade school libraries, classrooms, and districts worldwide. Through our partnership, Common Sense Media's book ratings and reviews are integrated into Mackin.com's catalog, search filters, and Review Journal section.
Plex is the first streaming platform to offer access to free entertainment paired with a user's own personal media collection. Plex users can find Common Sense Media's age and quality ratings on the details page of any title searchable on Plex. Plex Pass subscribers can access additional review details, including our ratings rationale and ratings from parents and kids.
Target guests can find Common Sense Media's ratings and reviews of books, DVDs, and video games under the Parental Guide tab on Target.com product detail pages. Our editorial picks and curated destinations for books and DVDs have also been featured across Target.com and in select Target stores.

Schools are where digital citizenship is taught and practiced every day. We partner with educators, districts, and educational technology companies to embed digital wellness into classroom learning.
Yondr is the industry leader in creating phone-free spaces, having empowered millions of students with phone-free education. Through our partnership, we're providing customized resources on media literacy and digital well-being to educators, students, and families, fostering a safer and more engaging learning environment for students.
Platforms shape how children learn, communicate, and develop. Meaningful change requires engaging directly with the companies that design these experiences.
