Pixalate's Trust & Safety Advisory Board

 

About the Trust & Safety Advisory Board

Pixalate’s Trust and Safety Advisory Board was founded in 2022 by its engineering and legal teams, including Allison Lefrak, a former employee with significant children’s privacy enforcement experience working atthe Federal Trade Commission (FTC).  At present, the Trust & Safety Advisory Board comprises distinguished legal experts in GDPR and COPPA laws, along with qualified educators who review and assess mobile apps through the lens of the COPPA Rule on an ongoing basis.

Pixalate’s COPPA Compliance Tool continuously monitors the Google and Apple stores — including the roughly 1.5MM-2MM new apps added each year — to identify apps likely to be child-directed. Pixalate’s methodology utilizes app categorization, content rating, natural language processing, child-related keyword scanning, and machine-learning algorithms, coupled with oversight from Pixalate’s Trust and Safety Advisory Board Members, who review selected apps based on the factors outlined in the FTC’s COPPA Rule.
