>The old privacy policy contained a provision that discouraged children under 13 years old from using the program. After extensive further consultation with our lawyers, we have determined that this provision is unnecessary given the actual mechanics of data transmission and storage.
This is great. Does anyone have any idea on how the actual mechanics of data transmission and storage can play on the legal side of things to enable use by under 13?
- kbrosnan 5y agoThe provision in the privacy policy likely comes from a overly cautious interpretation of COPA. The Childrens Online Privacy Act (COPA) Requires companies doing business in the US to get parental consent before creating an account for a child under 13 (among other things).
