The #FTC will not enforce #COPPA against companies using #ageverification tools, provided they follow specific guidelines. These include not using age data for anything other than verification, not retaining the data, and ensuring third parties maintain confidentiality. https://therecord.media/ftc-says-it-wont-enforce-coppa-age-verification?eicker.news #tech #media #news
FTC says it won’t enforce COPPA against proper use of age verification tools

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Wednesday issued a policy statement advising industry that it will not bring enforcement actions against website and online service providers who collect, use and share personal data using age verification technologies.

Regulatory update: The Federal Trade Commission issues COPPA enforcement clarification on age verification technologies.
Operators may collect and process personal data strictly for age determination without prior parental consent — if compliance controls include:
• Purpose limitation
• Data minimization + prompt deletion
• Security safeguards
• Third-party contractual assurances
• Transparency notice
• Reasonable accuracy validation

Formal COPPA Rule review forthcoming.
For security leaders:
Age verification systems must be architected with privacy-by-design, limited retention, and robust vendor risk management.

How are you validating accuracy while minimizing data exposure?

#FTC says it won’t enforce #COPPA against proper use of #ageverification tools
Companies have historically worried that collecting data for age verification could violate the FTC’s #Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA Rule), which requires commercial websites and online service operators to obtain parental consent before collecting, using or disclosing personal information of children under 13.

@Em0nM4stodon my guess is that #discord had a "#PiperChat moment" and realized that their entire business model IS a #COPPA violation!
