COPPA Compliance
Last updated: June 14, 2025
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law designed to give parents control over what information is collected from their children online. COPPA applies to operators of commercial websites and online services directed to children under 13 that collect, use, or disclose personal information from children, and to operators of general audience websites or online services with actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from children under 13.
