The Federal Trade Commission is proposing a set of new online privacy rules focused specifically on children’s interaction with websites. The new rules — which focus on kids under the age of 13 — are amendments to the existing Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act that, according to the FTC, are being made in response “to changes in online technology, including in the mobile marketplace.”
According to a report in Information Week, the FTC is “seek[ing] to update rules for how businesses that collect children’s information notify others, obtain parental consent, as well as keep collected data secure and confidential” and “expand COPPA to cover not just websites, but also online services such as mobile applications and even some types of text messaging services.”
