Business Development Manager
Every business that handles the data of under 16s must comply with a raft of new regulations that mandate companies to have a way to verify a child's age and, for very young children, verify parental responsibility for a child, so a verified parent can give consent on behalf of a child. These include the General Data Protection Regulation, Anti-Money Laundering Directive, Payments Services Directive and the California Consumer Privacy Protection Act, and non-compliance can mean companies incur fines of up to $20 million or 4% of global annual turnover. TrustElevate's purpose is to create a safer internet for children. TrustElevate is a child verification and parental consent service provider. TrustElevate verifies under-16s' ages, and for under-13s, we verify an assertion of parental responsibility so a parent can grant, deny or revoke consent to data processing, purchasing and access.
Those platforms and services deploying TrustElevate's technology know the ages of their users, which significantly enhances the ability to keep children safer online by preventing adults with a sexual interest in children accessing online spaces in which children interact and serving age-appropriate content. TrustElevate's technology has the power to transform the internet into a place that respects children's right to a safer place to grow up.
