February 8, 2022 — Yaizy has been awarded the iKeepSafe COPPA badge in recognition of their alignment with iKeepSafe’s guidelines surrounding the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). As part of this achievement, Yaizy will display the iKeepSafe COPPA Assessment badge and COPPA Safe Harbor seal to identify that the product has been proactively and independently assessed by an experienced privacy protection organization.
The iKeepSafe COPPA Assessment badge assists schools to easily identify websites, apps, data management platforms or other technology products that are in compliance with COPPA, a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. Products that carry the iKeepSafe Safe Harbor program seal provide educators and parents with assurance that the product is compliant with COPPA, a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Rule designed to ensure that parents remain in control of personal information collected from their children online.
Yaizy is an online learning platform inspiring 8-to-17 year-olds to turn their passions into professions. Through its immersive, fun courses in progressive subjects, tens of thousands of kids worldwide are now positioned to master the technical and leadership skills needed to become the next leading scientists, engineers, and thought leaders of tomorrow. YaizY is a trusted partner for schools in the US and worldwide, helping them to bridge gaps in career orientation, SEL and skills development.
“Parents and educators worldwide trust YaizY with bringing the best learning experience to kids. It is our key priority to ensure that while doing so, we maintain the highest standards of data management, and protect the privacy of our users,” said Lasha Bokuchava, co-founder and COO of YaizY. “We see recognition by iKeepSafe as a testament to our ultimate commitment to clients’ safety.”
“iKeepSafe congratulates Yaizy on taking this essential step in protecting youths’ personal information,” said Amber Lindsay, president and CEO of iKeepSafe. “Each day, more school districts and parents are making privacy and safety a priority. It is important that they have a quick means of determining whether products are safe to use.”
Products participating in the iKeepSafe COPPA assessment must undergo annual re-evaluation to continue displaying the iKeepSafe badge. For the evaluation, an independent privacy expert reviewed Yaizy , their privacy policy and practices, as well as their data security practices.
For over a decade, iKeepSafe has been a trusted resource for schools and parents looking for balanced information about safe and healthy use of connected technologies.
