Amendment to increase restrictions on the collection, use, and disclosure of children’s personal information
KPMG Regulatory and Advisory Insights
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The FTC finalized amendments to its rule implementing COPPA generally as proposed (see KPMG Regulatory Alert, here) with some “minor modifications” for clarity and to enhance readability. In a change from the proposal, the FTC did not adopt proposed provisions related to ed tech and the role of schools based on an anticipated student privacy rulemaking from the Department of Education.
As finalized, the rule becomes effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register with compliance required 365 days following publication, except for certain Safe Harbor provisions that have earlier compliance dates.
For an overview of the proposed amendments, see this KPMG Regulatory Alert: FTC NPR to Children’s Online Privacy (COPPA).
