Gives teens new online privacy rights and bans targeted ads for children and teens.
This bill would update a 1998 law to protect the online privacy of teens, not just young children. It would stop companies from using personal information for targeted ads for anyone under 17 and give families more control over their data. This bill aims to increase privacy for young people online.
Today, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) primarily protects children under 13 on websites and online services. This bill would expand those protections to include teens aged 13 to under 17, cover mobile applications and connected devices, and ban companies from using personal information for targeted advertising for anyone under 17. It would also give parents and teens new rights to delete, correct, and access their online data.
