Here is the honest situation. ESRB Privacy Certified is a privacy certification program, and an FTC-approved COPPA safe harbor, for websites, apps and online services, widely used in interactive entertainment. It requires a compliant privacy notice, accurate disclosure of collection and sharing, verifiable parental consent and heightened protection for children's data, meaningful user choices, access and deletion, reasonable security, vendor governance, controls on advertising and tracking, and periodic program assessment. Meeting the requirements and evidencing them is real work, and a member that collects children's data without verifiable parental consent, or runs behavioural advertising on child-directed services, is exactly where members fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every program requirement written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence the program examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the ESRB Privacy Certified program and its role as an FTC-approved COPPA safe harbor, with the privacy notice, the disclosure of collection and sharing, verifiable parental consent, children's data protection, user choices, security, vendor governance and periodic assessment called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is joining and scoping the certification program, where compliance begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A requirement you cannot evidence risks the seal and the safe harbor. This tells you what the program examines and where members fall short, for every requirement.
- Children's data, consent and advertising built in. The verifiable parental consent, the children's data protection and the advertising controls are written into the controls, the substance the program requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The program aligns with COPPA and state children's privacy laws, so this work feeds your wider youth-privacy compliance.
Who buys this
Operators of websites, apps and online services, especially in interactive entertainment, pursuing or holding ESRB Privacy Certified, and the privacy, legal and product leads who own it. Whether it is a first certification or an annual assessment, you save weeks and walk in with the requirements and evidence structured.
