DOS AND DON’TS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH COPPA (CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT)
|
|
On December 19, 2012, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued final rule amendments, concluding its review of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Rule. The revisions to the COPPA Rule impose new and expanded burdens for operators of websites or online services that are directed to kids. In light of these new obligations under the COPPA Rule and FAQs, this TIA Members-Only Resource Document offers a general framework that Toy Industry Association (TIA) member companies can use to examine and evaluate whether they are in compliance with the basic requirements of COPPA and the COPPA Rule.
