The Federal Trade Commission proposes
to amend the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule, consistent
with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act, to respond to changes in online technology, including in the
mobile marketplace, and, where appropriate, to streamline the
Rule.
US Code:
15 USC 6501 et seq. Name of Law: Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act
The proposed changes to the
definition of "personal information" would expand the definition to
encompass additional types of information and thereby potentially
increase the number of operators subject to the Rule. As explained
under item (12) of the Supporting Statement, however, FTC staff
believes there other proposed changes to the Rule will offset much
of that potential increase. The proposed amendment to eliminate the
sliding scale "email plus" method for obtaining parental consent
may increase the burden for the limited category of operators whose
information collection practices to date have enabled them to use
this relatively low cost method of obtaining parental consent.
Existing operators that currently use the email plus method would
incur burden in the first year of implementation to convert to a
more reliable method of parental verification. The proposed Rule
amendments require a safe harbor applicant to submit a more
detailed proposal than what the current Rule mandates. Existing
safe harbor programs will thus need to submit a revised application
and new safe harbor applicants will have to provide greater detail
than they would under the existing COPPA Rule.
