The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) is a Federal law that was passed in 1998 to protect children’s online privacy. The rule requires online Service Providers (SPs) and online advertising companies to get parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

To comply with the COPPA rule, online Service Providers must provide parents with clear and concise information about their children’s online activity, obtain parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13, and maintain records of parental consent requests.

Online advertising companies must also provide parents with clear and concise information about their children’s online activity, obtain parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13, and maintain records of parental consent requests.

Service Providers and advertising companies must comply with the COPPA rule regardless of whether or not the child is using the Service or the Advertising Company’s advertising platforms.

Service Providers and advertising companies must also comply with the COPPA rule even if the child is not a U.S.

citizen or national.

Service Providers and advertising companies that fail to comply with the COPPA rule may be subject to fines of up to $500,000 for each violation.

Although compliance with the COPPA rule may be burdensome, it is important to protect the privacy of children online. By complying with the rule, online Service Providers and advertising companies can ensure that their children are protected from online privacy violations.
