7. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a United States federal law enacted in 1998 that gives parents control over what information commercial websites, mobile apps, and online services collect from children under the age of 13.
Key Requirements
Verifiable Parental Consent: Covered operators must provide clear privacy policies and obtain verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian before collecting, using, or disclosing a child’s personal data (e.g., full name, address, email, IP address, geolocation, or audio/video files).
Parental Access & Control: Parents retain the right to review their child’s collected data, request its deletion, and revoke consent at any time.
Data Minimization & Security: Operators are prohibited from requiring a child to disclose more personal information than necessary to participate in an activity, and they must maintain reasonable procedures to protect the security and confidentiality of collected data.
Target Enforcement: Enforced primarily by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), COPPA applies both to child-directed platforms and general-audience platforms that have actual knowledge of collecting personal information from children under 13.
