Closing FERPA and children’s-privacy gaps before enforcement.

The challenge.

Trackers on student pages
Analytics and advertising tags on pages used by minors trigger COPPA and student-privacy exposure that self-attestation doesn’t catch.
FERPA & state scrutiny
The FTC and state attorneys general have sharpened focus on edtech data practices and third-party sharing.
Disclosure vs. practice
Data-sharing disclosures to districts didn’t match the trackers actually observed firing in the wild.

Districts increasingly require proof of compliance before renewing, not just a policy PDF.

The solution: outside-in visibility into every student-facing property.

Tracking Review on Student Properties
Identified third-party tags firing on pages used by K-12 and under-13 users, before and without consent.
COPPA / FERPA Mapping
Mapped every finding to COPPA, FERPA, and 20+ state student-privacy statutes with reproducible evidence.
Third-Party Data-Flow Mapping
Surfaced where student data flowed to advertising and analytics vendors across the platform.

Turned a policy claim into evidence districts and regulators can independently verify.

By the numbers.

Representative results from an outside-in assessment of a national K-12 education platform.

Districts kept asking us to prove our privacy posture. Privaini gave us evidence, mapped to the exact statute, instead of another attestation.
