Keypoint: The FTC finalizes changes to bolster COPPA Rule, the first updates to the Rule since 2013.
The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) finalized changes to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) Rule today, making the first updates to the Rule since 2013. In January 2024, the FTC proposed changes to the COPPA Rule and those changes went through a year-long rulemaking process. The changes set new requirements around the collection, use, and disclosure of children’s personal information and provide parents with new tools and protections.
In the below post, we provide background on the COPPA Rule and a summary of the finalized changes, which will go into effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register and require compliance one year from publication.
