The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is seeking public comments on proposed amendments to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (the Rule), which gives parents control over what personal information websites may collect from children under 13 years of age.
Specifically, the Rule imposes certain requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13 years of age and operators of websites or online services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information online from children under 13 years of age (collectively, operators). Among other items, the Rule requires that operators provide notice to parents and obtain their verifiable consent prior to collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13 years of age.
