The COPPA Rule implements the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA Act), which prohibits unfair and deceptive acts and practices in collecting and using personally identifiable information from and about children via the Internet. In September 2011, the FTC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on proposed changes to the COPPA Rule to keep the Rule current with technology advances and consistent with the COPPA Act. The FTC received 350 comments. In response to those comments and informed by its experience in enforcing and administrating the Rule, the FTC, through this final rule, has modified certain definitions to clarify the scope of the Rule and strengthen its protections for the online collection, use, or disclosure of children's personal information.
