The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law that was created to protect the privacy of children who are using the internet. COPPA requires websites that collect information from children (such as by asking for personal information or tracking their online activity) to get parental consent before collecting or using the information.

COPPA helps protect the privacy of children by:

-Requiring websites to get parental consent before collecting or using personal information from children
-Making it illegal for websites to collect personal information from children without parental consent if they know or should know that the information is not necessary for the purposes for which it is being collected
-Making it easier for parents to know what information their children are collecting online and to prevent websites from collecting information without their permission

Although there are some exceptions, most websites that collect information from children under COPPA are required to get parental consent before collecting or using the information. This means that parents can be sure that their children’s personal information is being collected and used in a way that is consistent with their privacy preferences.
