With the Complianz Privacy Suite your are also ready for the COPPA.
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a law designed to protect the online privacy of children under 13. The law came into force in April 2000 and is administered by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The COPPA was created to stop the rapid growth of online marketing techniques in the 1990s. With these techniques, children were targeted very specifically by means of misleading advertisements. Also, several websites collected data from children without parents knowing about it.
