- jellicle 15y agoYour statement is not true. In fact Google's only obligation under the law is not to make PUBLICLY available children's personal information without parental consent, and not to continue to collect personal information from a verified child without parental consent. There's even a specific safe harbor for Google to disclose a child's personal information to the child's parent.
- OstiaAntica 15y agoNo, you don't know what you are talking about. I ran the COPPA compliance for a Fortune 100 company when the law was passed. There is no public/private distinction in the law. "The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and Rule apply to individually identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child." http://www.coppa.org/comply.htm http://www.coppa.org/comply.htm
