Compliance
COPPA
The U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act protects children under 13 by regulating online data collection.
Cassie helps you achieve compliance without you having to compromise your business goals.
What is the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act?
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law designed to protect the privacy of children under 13 years old. Websites and online services that gather personal information from children under the age of 13 must adhere to specific guidelines to ensure this data is managed responsibly.
In order for organizations to be COPPA compliant, several steps should be taken, including gaining parental consent before any data is collected from children, building trust by ensuring parents are informed about data collection practices, and implementing security measures to ensure children’s data is safeguarded.
Does your business need COPPA compliance?
Not all businesses operating an online website or service are required to have COPPA compliance. However, if your business does any of the following, then COPPA compliance is a requirement:
- You run a website or online service directed to children under 13 and you collect personal information from them, or allow others to do so
- Your company runs an ad network and you have actual knowledge that you collect personal information from users of a website or service directed to children under 13
- Your website or online service is directed to a general audience, but you have knowledge that you collect personal information from children under 13
