PRIVO provides privacy-focused, parental consent-based AV services using facial estimation, document checks and guardian approval workflows. COPPA-certified and focused on protecting children in online services and educational contexts.

Erratum: The published report suggests the solution is “US-Centric” – while it has been designed specifically to cater to the US market, and the COPPA legislation in particular. We acknowledge that PRIVO’s solution can be configured for other jurisdictions, including Australia

Strengths

  1. No biometric template stored; end-to-end Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) used.
  2. Designed for online/offline use with real-time responses.
  3. High-trust application with strong local binding.

Summary of Results

Robust privacy protocols and high assurance for under-13 use. Excellent for family-focused platforms. Zero knowledge proof use and secure credential handling were standout features in its category.

PRIVO’s implementation demonstrates that it is possible to:

  • Reliably verify parental authority using accessible, multi-method workflows
  • Bind parents to children across diverse service contexts
  • Enable meaningful consent management and revocation
  • Comply with both privacy law and ethical standards around child rights

Privacy Policy

In addition to the structured Practice Statements, the Trial also reviewed publicly available Privacy Policies for all participating providers. This formed a key part of the Trial’s ethical due diligence and helped assess how well declared practices aligned with actual documentation and observed system behaviour.

Practice Statement

Practice Statements are formal documents submitted by participating providers, outlining how their systems function and how they claim to meet specific expectations under international and domestic standards. They offer providers an opportunity to articulate their system’s design in their own words — similar to a ‘statement of practice’ or ‘system disclosure’ used in certification and compliance contexts.

Interview

As part of the Trial’s commitment to transparency and accuracy, the team prepared a written summary of each vendor interview, capturing key points regarding system design, functionality and implementation claims. These summaries were shared with participants for review, allowing them to check, verify and suggest corrections where necessary.

Test Report

Individual Vendor Test Reports were developed for each participating provider. These reports formally document the results of the functional, usability and security evaluations carried out during the Trial and are intended to support public understanding, regulatory scrutiny and future conformity assessment or certification processes.
