Explanation

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law that regulates the online collection and use of personal information from children under 13 years of age. COPPA requires operators of websites or online services that are directed to children, or that knowingly collect personal information from children, to obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing such information. Verifiable parental consent means any reasonable effort (taking into consideration available technology) to ensure that before personal information is collected from a child, the child's parent receives notice of the operator's information practices and consents to those practices. COPPA also imposes other obligations on operators, such as providing parents with access to their children's information, maintaining reasonable security measures, and limiting data retention.
