Privacy on the Fast Track: How GooseChase Automated DSRs in a Week

The Challenge

One of the biggest drivers of GooseChase’s growth was its appeal to primary schools seeking unique, interactive learning experiences. But with that came the serious responsibility of handling large volumes of children’s PII.

GooseChase initially created a guest user mode to anonymize participant data from the start, an effective but temporary workaround. As they expanded into more countries, stricter regulations like GDPR, CPRA, and COPPA introduced additional requirements, including how children’s data is processed, transferred, and permanently deleted.

The challenge became clear: How do you delete or transfer data that’s already anonymized and cannot be traced to an individual? GooseChase needed a solution that would meet the highest privacy standards while maintaining a seamless experience for both schools and non-school users.

Why GooseChase Chose MineOS

GooseChase’s Head of Legal, Finance & Operations, Alex Stylianoudis, had already seen DSR requests come in from Mine and was impressed by the company’s approach:

• Reputation for taking privacy seriously – “It felt like Mine was taking data privacy more seriously as both a legal and moral issue than others.”
• Technical capability to build a custom integration – Flexibility to address unique data privacy challenges.
  
  

True partnership mindset – A collaborative, dedicated approach throughout the solution design and implementation.

Solution & Implementation

GooseChase partnered with MineOS to create a custom API-driven DSR Automation workflow that made compliance effortless:

• Backend stability – Designed to handle high volumes without impacting platform performance.
• Seamless compliance – Ensures adherence to COPPA, GDPR, and CPRA requirements with zero manual intervention.
