The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law that sets out guidelines for how websites must handle the personal information of children under the age of 13. COPPA prohibits websites from knowingly collecting or using any personal information from children under 13 without their parents’ consent.

This includes not only the collection of personal information like names, addresses, and email addresses, but also the sharing of this information with any third party.

COPPA does not just apply to websites that are owned or operated by businesses. It applies to any website that is accessible to children under 13, regardless of the website’s location or platform.

This means that even if a child is using a parent’s computer to access a website that is not owned or operated by a business, the website is still subject to the provisions of COPPA.

COPPA does not prohibit websites from collecting or using any personal information that is necessary for the website to function. For example, a website may require the personal information of children under 13 to register for a account or to participate in a contest.

COPPA does not prohibit websites from using children under 13 as test subjects in research. Websites are only prohibited from collecting or using personal information from children under 13 if the purpose of collecting or using that information is to market or sell products to children under 13.

COPPA does not prohibit websites from having children under 13 sign a consent form. websites are only prohibited from collecting or using personal information from children under 13 if the consent form does not contain any misleading or deceptive statements.

COPPA does not require websites to create a separate account for each child under 13. If a website allows children to sign in with their parent’s account, the website is still required to comply with the provisions of COPPA if the parent’s account includes personal information about the child.

COPPA does not require websites to maintain any personal information about children under 13. If a website no longer needs the personal information of a child under 13, the website is free to delete that information.

COPPA does not prohibit websites from using children under 13 in advertising or marketing campaigns. Websites are only prohibited from using children under 13 if the purpose of using that information is to market or sell products to children under 13.
