The Consumer Online Privacy Rights Act, or COPRA, is a United States law that sets out specific consumer rights with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information online. COPRA was passed in 2009 and became effective in 2011.

COPRA provides individuals with the right to know what personal information is being collected about them, the right to access that information, the right to change or delete that information, and the right to complain if they believe their privacy rights have been violated. COPRA also requires entities that collect or use personal information online to provide clear and concise notice of their policies and practices with respect to privacy, as well as the right to opt out of those practices.

COPRA is a powerful tool for consumers to protect their online privacy rights. It is important to remember, however, that COPRA does not protect information that is voluntarily shared online.

Furthermore, COPRA does not protect information that is collected without the individual’s consent.

Overall, COPRA is a valuable tool for consumers to protect their online privacy rights.
