PRIVACY
POWERED BY

The biggest change was clarity. Most of the protections already existed. What the evaluation forced us to do was write down, in plain language a parent could read, what we do with student data and why. Privacy that only lives inside the engineering team isn't enough.

Adeel Khan

Founder and CEO of MagicSchool.ai

We are the leader in engaging and impactful online courses, and Common Sense is the leader in understanding privacy in education. Choosing their software to stay current with fast-changing privacy regulation made sense.

Joel Hames

Chief Product Officer at Subject

I wanted to partner with a privacy expert, so I could focus on building my business. Common Sense's software was easy to use, helped us launch faster, and gave us confidence we were doing it right.

Yves Lermusiaux

CEO of WoPa

As a cyber security form focused on K12, we need to demonstrate our commitment to the highest privacy standards. Common Sense provided attorney level expertise but with the savings, convenience and access that comes from this type of software.

Oliver Page

Founder of CyberNut

I am actually an attorney by training. I know HIPAA and COPPA inside and out, but I don't have time to keep up with the latest laws. The FTC is really scrutinizing privacy in health tech and I need expert help from a company I trust.

Founder of Appa Health

Let's compare

Doing it yourself

Workable if you're comfortable with legal language and have time to track changing laws.

Easy to miss important details, especially across multiple states and countries.
Keeping up with new privacy and AI laws means ongoing research, not a one-time task.
Time spent interpreting regulations is time away from your product.
Hard to know whether your policy reflects current requirements.

Policy Generators

Fast and inexpensive, but built for everyone rather than for you.

Template-based policies that may not reflect your actual data practices.
Often limited guidance on industry-specific requirements, such as education or health.
May not address how your product uses AI.
Lack the independent privacy expertise behind Common Sense's evaluations.
