Trust & verification

Safety isn't an afterthought — it's built into everything we do. Here's how Kiddlo protects parents at every step.

Buyer Protection on every purchase

Every item bought through Kiddlo is covered by our Buyer Protection guarantee. If something doesn't match the description, arrives damaged, or never shows up, you get a full refund. No fine print, no hassle.

  • Covers items that don't match the listing description
  • Covers items that arrive damaged or broken
  • Covers items that never arrive
  • Refunds processed within 3–5 working days

Secure, held payments

When you buy something, your payment is held securely by Stripe — a payment platform trusted by millions of businesses worldwide. The seller only receives the money once you confirm the item is as described.

  • Payments processed by Stripe (PCI Level 1 certified)
  • Funds held for 3 days or until buyer confirms
  • Sellers receive the full listing price — no hidden deductions
  • All major cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay accepted

Verified seller profiles

Sellers can verify their identity to earn a 'Verified' badge on their profile. Verified sellers have confirmed their email address and phone number, giving buyers extra confidence.

  • Email verification required for all accounts
  • Optional phone number and ID verification
  • Verified badge displayed on profile and listings
  • Verification status visible before you buy

Community ratings and reviews

After every transaction, buyers and sellers can leave ratings and reviews. This builds a transparent track record that helps the whole community make better decisions.

  • Star ratings from 1 to 5 on every transaction
  • Written reviews visible on seller profiles
  • Review history builds trust over time
  • Fraudulent reviews flagged and removed

Active moderation

Our team reviews reported listings and accounts daily. We use a combination of automated checks and human review to keep the marketplace safe and genuine.

  • Listings reviewed for accuracy and safety
  • Reported accounts investigated within 24 hours
  • Recalled or unsafe products removed promptly
  • Scam and fraud detection across the platform

Data protection

Your personal information is protected in line with UK GDPR. We never share your data with third parties for marketing, and your payment details are handled entirely by Stripe — we never see your card number.

  • Compliant with UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018
  • Card details handled by Stripe — never stored by Kiddlo
  • Location shown at area level, never your exact address
  • You can request data export or deletion at any time
