COPPA Compliance Tools: Child-Directed App Insights

Protecting children’s privacy in a complex ad tech environment has been made more simple with Pixalate’s new AI-technology & expert informed methodology. Pixalate has automated the assessment of an app’s intended audience, as likely to be child-directed or general audience. All visitors to App Insights pages can now see Pixalate’s assessment of an app’s intended audience. 

You can find additional information about how Pixalate’s products help mitigate COPPA violation risks & the methodology here.

 



Include or Exclude Spoofing for Downloads

Using the “Include Spoofing” toggle within the CTV Discovery tool allows users to analyze an app’s data with or without impressions that Pixalate have designated as spoofed impressions. 

Including or excluding spoofed impressions change in baseline of the data used for many metrics within the Media Ratings Terminal. In which case, there are two versions of data for each app, one with spoofed impressions and one without spoofed impressions. 

When downloading the data via CSV/JSON, the download will respect the toggle selection in the UI. If a user has “Include spoofing” toggled on, the download will return two rows of data for each app to represent the app’s data both with and without spoofed impressions. If “Include spoofing” is toggled off, the downloaded results will include online one row of data per app, representing the app’s non-spoofed impressions only.
