Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for COPPA?

COPPA imposes strict requirements on the collection of personal information from children under 13. Schools and EdTech providers face FTC enforcement if student data is collected, used, or disclosed without proper safeguards.

1. Data Minimization Controls

We implement technical controls that enforce data minimization—ensuring systems only collect information necessary for educational purposes, with automated purging of data that exceeds retention requirements.

2. EdTech Vendor Assessment

We evaluate EdTech platforms for COPPA compliance before they’re deployed in your district, assessing data collection practices, storage locations, and third-party sharing policies.

We manage the technical infrastructure supporting parental consent workflows—verification systems, consent records, and opt-out mechanisms—ensuring the process is documented and defensible.

4. Monitoring and Enforcement

Our monitoring detects unauthorized data collection or sharing from student-facing platforms, alerting administrators before a COPPA violation occurs.

5. FTC Audit Readiness

We maintain documentation demonstrating COPPA compliance—vendor agreements, consent records, data flow diagrams, and access logs—organized for FTC inquiry response.
