For EdTech & Kids' AI — Promise Legal Insights
Insights for EdTech
COPPA, FERPA, and the AI compliance stack for child-directed products.
Building software for kids — or for any audience that includes them — puts you in a regulatory regime that punishes generic legal advice. The 2025 COPPA Final Rule, FERPA when you sell into schools, state biometric and age-verification statutes, and the new AI-in-education layer all stack on top of each other. The default vendor MSA from your last B2B deal does not cover any of it.
This hub is for founders building child-directed products and the platforms that touch them — kids' apps, edtech, learning platforms, AI tutors, and adult-facing products with mixed audiences. Real clients, real Direct Notice drafting, real subprocessor disclosure work.
