FTC Seeks Public Comment on its Children’s Online Privacy Rule
Yesterday the FTC announced the review of its Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Rule. COPPA imposes requirements on operators of Web sites that are aimed at children under 13, or that knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. For example, the Rule requires online operators to get parental permission before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children.
The FTC is seeking public comment on issues relating to the Rule. The comment period will run through June 30, 2010, and the FTC will host a public roundtable on Wednesday June 2, 2010 in Washington, D.C.
In its press release, the FTC notes that this review is warranted in light of rapidly evolving technology, and changes in the way children use and access the Internet, including the increasing use of mobile technology to access the Internet.
