Guardian Consent Desk

Records a parent's consent for each use of a student's data, and when consent is withdrawn, deletes the student from every connected system and issues a signed certificate.

The students

500 synthetic students, each with a guardian check and a consent for each use

Guardian Consent Desk's Students screen on a wide screen: a dark top bar with Demo Academy and a Synthetic data badge, a sidebar with five sections, four figures (500 students, 100 guardians checked, 30 waiting for a guardian, 0 withdrawals open) and a table of students with each parent or guardian, the guardian check and a status for each of four uses.The real screen, on synthetic data

1 of 5: The students

The problem

Consent sits on paper forms and in five tools that don't talk to each other. When a parent asks you to delete their child's data, the LMS forgets them, the marketing list doesn't, and you can't show what happened.

What it does

It verifies the parent or guardian before a student under 18 is enrolled into anything that uses their data.

It scans for data left behind after a deletion.

Try to break it

On the call we'll trigger these, live:

  • The marketing tool doesn't confirm a deletion. It stays open on the list and isn't counted as done.
  • A student opens the consent link instead of the parent. Verification stops it.
  • Old records turn up in the analytics database. The scan finds them.
