Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. law designed to protect the privacy of children under 13 when they are online. It requires websites and online services that collect personal information from children to obtain parental consent before doing so. These services must also provide clear information about their data practices and protect children's information. COPPA aims to ensure that children’s online experiences are safe and that their privacy is respected, preventing unauthorized data collection and potential misuse of their personal information.
