Pixalate's COPPA Manual Reviews: ‘Painnt-Pro Art Filters'

Nov 15, 2023 11:00:00 AM

Welcome to Pixalate’s CTV & Mobile App Manual Reviews According to COPPA, a series containing the detailed factors the Trust & Safety Advisory Board educators used to assess an app’s child-directedness.

The educators manually review thousands of mobile apps available in the Google Play & Apple App Stores as well as connected TV (CTV) apps from the Roku Channel Store and Amazon Fire TV App Store using the COPPA Rule factors shown below & make those results available to the public at ratings.pixalate.com.

This post takes a look at a popular mobile app (1 million+ downloads) from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Our reviewer discusses how the subjective factors set forth in the COPPA Rule apply to the app and factor into the reviewer's determination as to whether the app is child-directed or general audience (i.e., it is not targeting children).

  • Crystal’s Take: Painnt-Pro Art Filters is a digital app that allows you to add filters and dress up your photographs.

COPPA factors used to determine audience

Painnt-Pro Art Filters is a filter app that delivers outcomes of photos in real time providing a useful preview before saving it. Players can tweak and fine-tune each filter for each photo to get improved results from every filter and photograph mix. Once completed players can apply frames that function well with the filters to make the photos look more certifiable and less digital. The app also has a social network community where you can share the images created. The app has over 1000 plus art filters with visual content and colorful graphics that would be directed to a general audience.

The advertisements are shown at the bottom of the app in a banner. The advertisements shown are, “Temu, Online Activation, and Etsy,” which is directed to a general audience.

The app is rated E for Everyone in the Google Play store and 4+ in the iOS store. The app is ready to use after download and there is no age gate. The app does offer in-app purchases in order to remove advertisements.

Privacy:

The developer’s privacy policy states, ”You must be 13 years or older to use this site.” However, there is no COPPA policy in place.
