What is PRIVO PROTECT
PRIVO PROTECT is owned and operated by Privacy Vaults Online, Inc. d/b/a PRIVO (“PRIVO”). PRIVO is a leader in online privacy protection solutions. The PRIVO PROTECT  Service was developed to help protect digital identities and build responsible digital engagement for minors and their families.
 
The PRIVO PROTECT Service offers a Safety Tech Directory of resources, guides, and tools for parents and families. Parents will be able to register for the Minors Protection Registry Service by creating a PRIVO iD and authorizing PRIVO to act on their behalf to help protect their child online. The registry allows parents to put online services on notice that a child is attempting to access an age restricted service or a service that needs to apply privacy protections for a child.

In the context of an onward transfer, a Privacy Shield organization has responsibility for the processing of personal information it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf.  The Privacy Shield organization shall remain liable under the Principles if its agent processes such personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless the organization proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
