The record

Purpose: Open Badge Factory is an online platform for organisations to create, issue, and manage Open Badges.
Badge applications: Badge applications are custom online questionnaires linked to badges, where applicants provide information and evidence for review.
Collaboration: Organisations can share badges and badge applications and endorse one another’s badges.
Reporting: The platform can generate reports on how badges were issued, received, shared, and ranked by target groups.
Multilingual badges: Organisations can create and issue badges in multiple languages.
PDF badges: Pro includes verifiable PDF badges that can be shared online or offline without a badge wallet account.
Standards and privacy: The maker says Open Badge Factory is certified to the Open Badges v3.0 standard and complies with the European General Data Protection Regulation.
Data location: The privacy notice says personal data is not transferred outside the EU/EEA and databases are protected by firewalls, passwords, and other technical measures.
Integrations: The maker lists an API, LTI, and plugins, including Moodle; it also describes Zapier automation as requiring an OBF Pro license.
LTI limits: The generic LTI integration does not support automatic badge issuing, and the maker says LTI integration requires Pro.
Issuing limits: Basic, Premium, and Pro list annual badge issuance limits of 5,000, 15,000, and 50,000 respectively; the page says larger quantities can be discussed with the maker.
Support: The pricing comparison lists support portal access for Premium and Pro and priority service level for Pro.
Who it serves: The maker describes the platform as used by large and small organisations around the world to implement badge strategies and recognition projects.
