We combine deep technical understanding of application behavior with expertise in minor protection and relevant regulations. We have impacted the minor protection landscape through our research, presentations, publications, testimony and policy work for more than a decade.

Protecting minor users is not just important, it’s a major compliance risk in 2025. Major privacy laws require companies to have holistic solutions for managing minors' data, and consumers expect the same.

Policy

Regulatory enforcement

Regulatory enforcement of specific and general minor protection laws with turnover based fines is a growing global risk due to increasing regulatory oversight.

Compliance

Deplatforming

All major app platforms require publishers to protect minor users. Failure to do so can lead to deplatforming, shutting down your application.

Perception

Lasting reputational damage

Everyone agrees children should be protected, resulting in fierce and enduring public backlash with profound impacts on brand image and reputation, in the event of failures in this space.

How we help you protect minors

Are your minor protection measures are actually effective? How do you know that advertising data is not shared with third parties when the user is a minor? Most of the time, companies simply don't know, leaving minors vulnerable and the company at risk. AppCensus helps you validate your application does what you think it does and fix it when it doesn't.

Leveraging our proprietary scanning capabilities and knowledge bases, we scan your application to provide you with full visibility on your app's data flows and privacy controls.

Third-party code, such as in SDKs, powers essential app functions like login, payments, and ads. But it also introduces unseen risks. Undisclosed data collection and unexpected behaviors in third-party code are the number one reason for compliance failures and are notoriously hard to find using traditional compliance methods. AppCensus enables you to control this risk through our unique database of SDK behaviors, mapping data collection to third-party code.

Many consent flows don’t do what they promise due to poor implementation, resulting in unwanted data processing, misrepresentations and regulatory fines. Appcensus enables you to validate your consent flow is doing what it should. 

Our platform enables effective issue monitoring and remediation. By combining intuitive dashboards with detailed break-out views, we offer the right level of detail throughout your remediation process.
