square What is the primary goal of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act?

The primary goal of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is to protect the privacy of children under the age of 13 in the digital age. COPPA requires websites and online services directed to children, as well as those that knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, to provide certain protections and safeguards to ensure that children's privacy is respected online. These protections include providing clear and comprehensive privacy policies, obtaining verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children, and providing parents the ability to review and delete their children's information.
