The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a US law that was enacted in 1998 to protect children’s online privacy. COPPA requires websites that collect information from children under the age of 13 to obtain parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing that information.

COPPA is designed to protect children from online predators and other harmful individuals or entities that could access their personal information without their parents’ consent. By requiring websites to obtain parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing children’s personal information, COPPA ensures that children are given the opportunity to provide input about their online privacy and safety.

COPPA is a valuable tool for protecting children’s online privacy and safety.
