# Ping

> Ping is a safe messaging app designed for kids and families. It gives parents full control over who their children can talk to, uses end-to-end encrypted messaging, and has no public search or stranger contact — built around three core safety principles: parental controls, no public search, and encrypted communication.

Ping is a marketing website (ping.kids). The Ping app itself lives at app.ping.kids. This site provides product information, safety details, legal documentation, and a lead-generation signup for the upcoming launch.

Markdown versions of every key page are available at the same URL with `.md` appended (e.g. `/privacy` → `/privacy.md`).
