Children’s Privacy

In the case I discover that a child under 13 has provided me with personal information, I immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact me so that I will be able to do the necessary actions.

COPPA Privacy Policy

If you run a website or online service aimed at U.S. minors under 13 years of age, then you need to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The Act is designed to protect children's personal data when they use the internet or play mobile apps and games.

In other words, having a Privacy Policy isn't enough. You need to include extra clauses explaining how you protect children's data and how it's processed.

But who needs to comply with COPPA, and what are the Privacy Policy requirements? Before we go over these questions, let's be clear on how COPPA works and why it matters.

COPPA Explained

Technically, COPPA refers to two privacy laws:

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule

The general rule, though, is pretty simple: If you collect personal data from US children, you need parental consent first. By "collecting" data, we're referring to activities like:

Using tracking cookies
Showing someone's personal data to the public e.g. on a public profile page
Asking users to submit information to create an account or profile, or make a purchase

You also need to take extra precautions to keep the data safe and secure.

But what actually is "personal data"? It's basically any data you can use to identify a specific child. It's defined in Section 6501(8) of the Act as:

"The term "personal information" means individually identifiable information about an individual collected online, including-
(A) a first and last name;
(B) a home or other physical address including street name and name of a city or town;
(C) an e-mail address;
(D) a telephone number;
(E) a Social Security number;
(F) any other identifier that the Commission determines permits the physical or online contacting of a specific individual; or
(G) information concerning the child or the parents of that child that the website collects online from the child and combines with an identifier described in this paragraph."

It applies if you're handling personal data belonging to a U.S. child, wherever you're based. You may also need to comply with stricter rules depending on your location, but we're only concerned with COPPA in this article.

What services are included in the rules? There's no comprehensive list, but here are some examples:

Apps
Websites
"Smart" toys connected to the internet
Gaming platforms

The service needs to be commercial. In other words, if you're a charity, you're not bound by COPPA. But if your service is commercial in nature at all, even if it's free to use, it's covered in section 6501(10).

Why COPPA Matters

We know that complying with COPPA means you need to:

Get parental permission before collecting minor data (under-13s)
Take steps to protect this data

But why do we need the Act? There are a few reasons:

Parents have a right to control access to their child's personal information
They also want to know what services their child uses, and they want to know you take privacy seriously
It's important to help children stay safe and protected online

COPPA goes some way to keeping minors safe while allowing them access to the digital world.

Who Needs to Comply With COPPA

You only need to comply with COPPA if you handle personal data belonging to under-13s, or you know children use your website, even if they're not your target audience.

This is confirmed by the Federal Trade Commission:

FTC: COPPA FAQ: Who is covered by Coppa excerpt

But what is "actual" knowledge? Well, if a 12-year-old lies about their age and accesses your website without your knowledge, you're not bound by COPPA. However, if you later find out that minors are using your platform, you need to change your Privacy Policy and comply with the Act.

How do you confirm if your website or service is directed at children, though? It all depends on factors like:

Tone, speech patterns and language used
Type of music, slogans, and logos
The site content and how easy it is to use
Age of the models you use to market your products
Use of animated or cartoon characters around the website

Let's take a look at two examples.

The first is Sesame Street. The website is colorful and you can see various cartoon characters. The graphics are fun, and the game avatars are obviously aimed at children:

On the other hand, here's Parker Pen. It's stylish and sophisticated, but based on the colors, the product, and the language, it's not likely to appeal to children:

Parker Pen product description

What happens if someone lies about their age? Don't worry. You don't need to ask someone to confirm their age to use your service. And if you do ask people to enter their age before accessing your website, you're allowed to rely on the information they provide.

The FTC confirms this:

FTC: COPPA FAQ: Will COPPA prevent children from lying about their age excerpt

In other words, you're allowed to assume any age information you're provided is accurate until you're told otherwise.

If you don't collect any personal information at all, and you're sure COPPA doesn't apply, you should put up a brief notice confirming this. Here's an example from Starfall:

Starfall: Agree to cookies and Privacy Policy notice

COPPA Compliance

To comply, you should do four things:

Write a COPPA-compliant Privacy Policy and post it somewhere obvious
Post a Direct Notice telling parents about your data policies
Get parental consent before capturing a child's personal information
Tell parents if your Privacy Policy changes in a significant way

How to Write a COPPA-Compliant Privacy Policy

First, you need to update your Privacy Policy (or write one).

The Privacy Policy must do two things:

Tell parents how you protect a child's data
Explain what rights parents have over this information

You must also publish the Privacy Policy somewhere obvious on your website, but we'll cover this later.

Writing a Privacy Policy

To comply with privacy laws around the world, every Privacy Policy must include certain clauses. Basically, you should:

Explain what information you collect, how you get it, and why you need it
Confirm whether you use cookies, or share data with third parties
Tell people where they can contact you for more information
Explain that users can opt out of data collection at any time

A COPPA Privacy Policy needs these clauses as well as:

An explanation of how you handle a child's personal data
Details of what rights parents have over this data

It's also vital you use language throughout your Privacy Policy that's easy enough for children to understand.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

This policy is effective as of 2022-07-10
