What is COPPA?</h3> <p>COPPA is an abbreviation for the <strong><a href="https://www.iubenda.com/en/help/168026-what-is-coppa" target="_blank">Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)</a></strong> that was enacted by Congress in 1998 and required the <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Federal Trade Commission</a> to issue and enforce regulations concerning children’s online privacy. The amended <em>Rule</em> became effective on July 1st, 2013.</p> <p>The primary goal of COPPA is to protect children’s privacy online (and at the same time on the mobile ecosystem). COPPA puts parents in control over what information from their children.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="when">2. When Do I Fall under COPPA?</h3> <figure class="wp-block-image box img-fluid my-4"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.iubenda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/coppa_me1.jpg" alt="coppa_me"></figure> <p>When do you as a web or mobile developer or operator/owner of these services fall under COPPA? And what does that fact mean for you? The Rule applies to operators of commercial websites and online services (again, it includes mobile apps) directed to children under 13 that collect, use, or disclose personal information from children. </p> <p>It also applies to operators of general audience websites or online services with actual knowledge that they are collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13. </p> <p>The Rule also applies to websites or online services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information directly from users of another website or online service directed to children. Let us dissect this catalogue:</p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>Operators of commercial websites and online services</li> <li>directed to children under 13</li> <li>that collect, use, or disclose personal information from children.</li> </ol> <p>It also applies to:</p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>operators of general audience websites or online services</li> <li>if they have actual knowledge that they are collecting, using, or disclosing personal information</li> <li>from children under 13.</li> </ol> <p>And it applies to:</p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>websites or online services that have actual knowledge that </li> <li>they are collecting personal information directly from users of another website or online service </li> <li>directed to children</li> </ol> <p>There are a few things we still have to look at more deeply here. What is a website or online service as they are quoted in the Rule? What is personal information exactly? And what does collect, use or disclose mean in this context? Turns out the terms in the Rule are mostly defined broadly:</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">2.1 Website or online service?</h4> <figure class="wp-block-image box img-fluid my-4"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.iubenda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/coppa_web_mobile1.jpg" alt="coppa_web_mobile"></figure> <p> So what is the definition of a website or online service under COPPA?</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li> <strong>mobile apps</strong> that send or receive information online (like network-connected games, social networking apps, or apps that deliver behaviorally-targeted ads)</li> <li><strong>internet-enabled gaming platforms</strong></li> <li><strong>plug-ins</strong></li> <li><strong>advertising networks</strong></li> <li><strong>internet-enabled location-based services</strong></li> <li><strong>voice-over internet protocol services</strong></li> </ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">2.2 Personal Information</h4> <figure class="wp-block-image box img-fluid my-4"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.iubenda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/coppa_persi1.jpg" alt="coppa_persi"></figure> <p>What kind of information is considered personal and therefore triggers the COPPA compliance requirement? <strong>This is important</strong>: COPPA has updated the list for “personal information” that cannot be collected without parental notice and consent to include geolocation information, photographs, video and  audio files that contain a child’s image or voice. At large the list of personal information looks like this:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>full name;</li> <li>home or other physical address, including street name and city or town,</li> <li>online contact information like an email address or other identifier that permits someone to contact a person directly — for example, an IM identifier, VoIP identifier, or video chat identifier;</li> <li>screen name or user name where it functions as online contact information;</li> <li>telephone number;</li> <li>Social Security number;</li> <li>a persistent identifier that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different sites, including a cookie number, an IP address, a processor or device serial number, or a unique device identifier;</li> <li>a photo, video, or audio file containing a child’s image or voice;</li> <li>geolocation information sufficient to identify a street name and city or town; or</li> <li>other information about the child or parent that is collected from the child and is combined with one of these identifiers.</li> </ul> <p>What is, then, the collection of personal information like the above?</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">2.3 Collecting Personal Information</h4> <figure class="wp-block-image box img-fluid my-4"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.iubenda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/coppa_collect1.jpg" alt="coppa_collect"></figure> <p>You are collecting information if you <strong>request, prompt, or encourage the submission of information, even if it’s optional.</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>let information be made publicly available (for example, with an open chat or posting function)</li> <li>unless you take reasonable measures to delete all or virtually all personal information before postings are public and delete all information from your records;</li> <li>or passively track a child online.</li> </ul> <p>If another company collects personal information through your child-directed site or service — through an ad network or plug-in, for example — you’re responsible for complying with COPPA. If you have actual knowledge that you’re collecting personal information directly from users of a child-directed site or service, you’re responsible for complying with COPPA, too. So how do you go from being required to follow COPPA’s rules, to actually complying?</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="how">3. How Do I Comply with COPPA?</h3> <figure class="wp-block-image box img-fluid my-4"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.iubenda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/coppa_compliance1.jpg" alt="coppa_compliance"></figure> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li> <strong>Post a clear and comprehensive online privacy policy</strong> describing their information practices for personal information collected online from children;</li> <li> <strong>Provide direct notice to parents and obtain verifiable parental consent</strong>, with limited exceptions, before collecting personal information online from children;</li> <li> <strong>Give parents the choice</strong> of consenting to the operator’s collection and internal use of a child’s information, but prohibiting the operator from disclosing that information to third parties (unless disclosure is integral to the site or service, in which case, this must be made clear to parents);</li> <li> <strong>Provide parents access</strong> to their child’s personal information to review and/or have the information deleted;</li> <li> <strong>Give parents the opportunity to prevent further use</strong> or online collection of a child’s personal information;</li> <li> <strong>Maintain</strong> the confidentiality, security, and integrity of information they collect from children, including by taking reasonable steps to release such information only to parties capable of maintaining its confidentiality and security; and</li> <li> <strong>Retain personal information collected online from a child for only as long as is necessary</strong> to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and delete the  information using reasonable measures to protect against its unauthorized access or use.</li> </ol> <p>Let us dissect this again:</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">3.1 Post a clear and comprehensive online privacy policy</h4> <figure class="wp-block-image box img-fluid my-4"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.iubenda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/coppa_pp1.jpg" alt="coppa_pp"></figure> <p>This is the first step where iubenda comes in helpful. To generate a privacy policy with us, <a href="https://www.iubenda.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">visit the generator here</a>. You can add our COPPA compliance clause “The Service is directed to children under the age of 13”. Generally, if you feel like doing it by yourself you’ll have to follow this pattern: Describe <em>clearly and comprehensively</em> how personal information is collected.</p> <p>The notice must describe not only your own practices (description of what is collected and how it is used), but also the practices of any others collecting personal information on your site or service, like for example third party applications you may be using. Link to your policy from a prominent spot. What separates the privacy policy under COPPA from other privacy policies is the inclusion of a description of parental rights. </p> <p>Your privacy policy must tell parents:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>that you won’t require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity;</li> <li>that they can review their child’s personal information, direct you to delete it, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child’s information;</li> <li>that they can agree to the collection and use of their child’s information, but still not allow disclosure to third parties unless that’s part of the service (for example, social networking); and</li> <li>the procedures to follow to exercise their rights.</li> </ul> <p>If you want us to help you accomplish this, try the generator and don’t forget to add our COPPA clause.</p> <div> <a class="btn success" href="https://www.iubenda.com/en/">Generate your Privacy Policy</a> </div> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="consent">3.2 Provide direct notice to parents and obtain verifiable parental consent</h4> <figure class="wp-block-image box img-fluid my-4"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.iubenda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/coppa_dirnot1.jpg" alt="coppa_dirnot"></figure> <p>Before you start collecting personal information from children, you <strong>need to give parents “direct notice”</strong>. The notice must be clear and easy to read and include the following:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>that you collected their online contact information for the purpose of getting their consent;</li> <li>that you want to collect personal information from their child;</li> <li>that their consent is required for the collection, use, and disclosure of the information;</li> <li>the specific personal information you want to collect and how it might be disclosed to others;</li> <li>a link to your online privacy policy;</li> <li>how the parent can give their consent; and</li> <li>that if the parent doesn’t consent within a reasonable time, you’ll delete the parent’s online contact information from your records.</li> </ul> <p>If you change your practices, make sure to send an updated direct notice to parents so they know about those changes. There are circumstances that allow to skip the requirement for getting parental consent. <a href="http://www.business.ftc.gov/documents/bus84-childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-six-step-compliance-plan-your-business" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check the graph at the bottom of this site</a> for more information.</p> <p>Additionally to the direct notice <strong>you need to get parents’ verifiable consent before starting</strong> the collection of personal information from their children. The way you do this is up to you, but you should be able to ensure that the person giving consent is the child’s parent. </p> <p><strong>Acceptable methods of verifiable parental consent:</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>sign a consent form and send it back to you via fax, mail, or electronic scan;</li> <li>use a credit card, debit card, or other online payment system that provides notification of each separate transaction to the account holder;</li> <li>call a toll-free number staffed by trained personnel;</li> <li>connect to trained personnel via a video conference; or</li> <li>provide a copy of a form of government issued ID that you check against a database, as long as you delete the identification from your records when you finish the verification process.</li> </ul> <figure class="wp-block-image box img-fluid my-4"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.iubenda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/coppa_emailplus1.jpg" alt="coppa_emailplus"></figure> <p><strong>The method “Email Plus”:</strong> If you will use a child’s personal information <em>only for internal purposes</em> and won’t disclose it, you may use a method known as “email plus.” Using that method, you’ll send an email to the parent and have them respond with their consent. You must send a confirmation to the parent via email, letter, or phone call. Using “email plus”, you must let the parent know they can revoke their consent anytime.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="apps">4.

In their guideline they go on to declare a few relevant things:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>24.2 Apps primarily intended for use by kids under 13 may <strong>not include behavioral advertising</strong> (e.g. the advertiser may not serve ads based on the user’s activity within the App), and any contextual ads presented in the App must be appropriate for kids</li> <li>24.3 Apps primarily intended for use by kids under 13 must <strong>get parental permission or use a parental gate</strong> before allowing the user to link out of the app or engage in commerce</li> <li>24.4 Apps in the <strong>Kids Category must be made specifically</strong> for kids <em>ages 5 and under</em>, <em>ages 6‐8</em>, or <em>ages 9‐11</em> </li> </ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="gating">“Parental Gating”</h4> <p>Apple’s 24.3 mentions the term “parental gate”.
