ESRB Privacy Certified (EPC), the industry-leading online and mobile privacy compliance and certification program, and SafeDK, a preeminent end-to-end SDKs management platform which enables app publishers to analyze, monitor, and optimize the behavior of SDKs in their apps, have announced a partnership enabling EPC member companies to use SafeDK's management platform at a discounted rate.
SafeDK's platform will provide EPC members with the ability to increase their control and visibility of third-party SDKs.

We look forward to a fruitful partnership."
