COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)

Filed Under Web Developer

Information you should know about kids’ privacy and data collection when developing websites for an audience under age 13, COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) is overseen by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and sets the requirements and protections for collection and use of private data for children under age 13.

For more information, you can download How to Comply With The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule, a PDF guide from the FTC, the Direct Marketing Association and the Internet Alliance.

PLEASE NOTE: COPPA should not be confused with COPA (Children’s Online Protection Act), a law in the United States of America, passed in 1998 with the declared purpose of protecting minors from harmful sexual material on the Internet.
