Episode notes
Seal Simplifies Privacy Decisions
- Parents and educators lack a practical yardstick to judge kid-focused products, so they rely on public privacy policies that are unreadable and time-consuming.
- The Common Sense Privacy Seal simplifies decisions by translating complex practices into a trustworthy, visible signal.
Make Privacy A Continuous Process
- Continuously monitor and update privacy practices because laws and products change frequently.
- Treat certification as ongoing: companies must keep earning the seal through regular updates and monitoring.
Trust Is EdTech's Primary Currency
- Trust is the core currency in edtech and privacy builds that trust with educators and parents.
- Third-party validation like the Common Sense Seal gives busy teachers and districts an at-a-glance trust signal.
