Data Safety
How safe is ProtectMe?
Security is critical to ProtectMe. Student data is encrypted throughout every step of the monitoring process, including when ProtectMe analyzes data and sends alerts.
ProtectMe complies with COPPA, CCPA, and other child safety regulations, and we’re transparent about what we monitor and how it works.
The tool runs in the background without interfering with gameplay, ensuring a seamless experience for the gamer while giving schools peace of mind.
What does ProtectMe do with chat data?
All student data is encrypted, analyzed securely in systems physically located in the US, and protected with multiple layers of security.
ProtectMe uses pseudonymisation as defined by the GDPR to separate PII from the stored data.
Data is reviewed for safety risks, then deleted after processing.
