How do laws protect children’s privacy online, especially regarding the collection and use of their data?
Laws protect children’s privacy online, particularly concerning the collection and use of their data, through regulations like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States. This law imposes requirements on website operators and online service providers to obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children under the age of 13. Additionally, laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) have provisions that specifically address children’s privacy rights and impose restrictions on data collection and processing activities involving children. Parents/guardians play a crucial role in monitoring and supervising their children’s online activities to ensure compliance with these laws and to protect their privacy effectively.
