The security of your Amazon Fire Kids Edition tablet largely depends on the security of your Amazon account. For example, I installed the iOS app and signed into my Amazon account, but I wasn’t able to remove FreeTime content through the iOS app I had to use the FreeTime app on the Fire Kids Edition tablet to do that. But, the options may be more limited than they are on your kid’s Fire Kids Edition tablet. You can install the FreeTime app on any Amazon tablet, or any Android or iOS device. Go back to Settings, then tap Device Options, then Backup & Restore.
Go back to Security & Privacy, then tap Advertising ID, then Interest-based Ads. You may choose to toggle to off if you’d rather not send data (even anonymized data) to Amazon. I generally like to share data that helps make software and services better, as long as my (or my child’s) data is anonymized. Go back to Security & Privacy, then tap Collect App Usage Data. Go back to Security & Privacy, then tap Device Usage Data. You can toggle all to off and still remotely find, lock, and erase the tablet. Toggle to off any apps that don’t truly need your location. Tap Location-Based Services, then App-level permissions. Go back to Settings, then tap Security & Privacy.
I recommend toggling to off, unless you want your child to use Alexa (Amazon’s voice assistant). Set On the Lock Screen to Hide sensitive notification content. Tap the Settings app, then Apps & Notifications. If you’ll be storing any important data on the tablet, or making important data available from the tablet, I highly recommend setting a password rather than a PIN, because a strong password is more secure than a 4-digit PIN. On the Set Lock Screen PIN screen, set a PIN or password for your profile, to prevent your child from accessing it. On the Fire Kids Edition screen, tap Set up your child’s account.
You can decide whether to check Auto-Save Photos and Videos (I didn’t). On the Fire options page, I recommend unchecking Save Wi-Fi Password to Amazon. Tap the Settings app, then My Account, then Register. On the Amazon Fire Kids Edition tablet, open your profile (if you’re setting up a new tablet, it will be the default profile the only one on the tablet).
