Brandkept is compliance management software built specifically for parents of child and teen content creators.
The Problem We Solve
When a child earns income from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or brand deals, parents face a complex set of legal obligations they weren't prepared for: Coogan law trust accounts, state-specific compliance requirements, tax documentation, parental consent flows, and brand deal management.
As of August 16, 2026, eleven states have enacted specific child content creator protection laws — California, Illinois, Minnesota, Utah, Hawaii, Virginia, Montana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and New Jersey (all in effect), plus Colorado (effective June 1, 2027). Six states impose a mandatory trust for child performers: New York, California, Illinois, Louisiana and New Mexico, where the trust is a prerequisite for the work permit, and Pennsylvania, which is triggered by earnings thresholds. Three more — Kansas, Nevada and North Carolina — allow a court to order a set-aside on petition but impose no standing requirement. Massachusetts requires a court-approved plan for the protection of earnings, with no fixed percentage. Every one of these laws requires an employer, a contract, or a court proceeding, and their extension to family content creation is untested. California and Illinois appear in both the creator law list and the traditional performer list — they have two regimes each. FTC disclosure rules apply to parents nationwide on every sponsored post. COPPA governs the platforms children's content is published on. More states are enacting similar legislation.
What We Do
- Show which state child creator laws apply, what income conditions trigger them, and what steps those laws require
- Track income from YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Instagram — Twitch subscriptions and bits sync automatically; manual entry for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram today, with automatic syncing for YouTube, and TikTok pending platform verification (expected approximately late September 2026)
- Manage brand deal status and parental consent records
- Organize tax documents by year and child
- Maintain a full audit trail of all actions on minor data
- Interface partially translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, and Tagalog — coverage varies by screen. Legal documents and customer support are in English.
What We Are Not
Brandkept is compliance management software — not a law firm, accounting firm, or financial advisor. We provide organizational and tracking tools to help you manage records related to your child's creator income. Nothing in Brandkept constitutes legal, tax, or financial advice. State laws change frequently and vary significantly. Always consult a qualified professional (entertainment attorney, licensed CPA, or licensed financial advisor) for your specific situation. See our Disclaimer for complete details.
Security and Trust
Your data — especially your child's information — is protected with strong security practices. We use Supabase (SOC 2 Type II certified) for data storage, maintain row-level security policies, encrypt OAuth tokens at the application layer, and keep a full audit log of every action on minor data. We take children's data privacy seriously. See our Security page for full details.
