ABOUT TIN CAN

Tin Can is building a safer, simpler way for kids to connect, without smartphones. We’re creating screen-free, delightful devices and services that let families call the people who matter most, free from the noise of today’s digital world.

We’re building a bold, authentic, nostalgic, and kinda quirky brand that resonates with folks who want something simpler & better for their kids than the tech-infused lives we’re currently living (and who have a sense of humor about it).

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Guide compliance for every physical, connected product we sell to families, including internationally, and as we expand beyond a single device into new products and accessories, help build the compliance playbook for each new thing we launch

• Own our compliance with privacy laws, including COPPA a...
