COPPA Subject Home

1998 Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

A New Federal Law Requires That Your Website Protect Minor Children, Obtain Parental Permission, and Provide Access To Your Data!

Is your website in compliance with new Federal Laws?

If you haven't designed in these features it probably isn't.  COPPA compliance is not built in to Microsoft FrontPage!

You could be at risk for tens of thousands to millions of dollars in fines!

In April 2000, the United States Congress passed the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.  It became effective in October 2001.  You may be in violation right now!  Here's an example of the FTC enforcement action!

Can children give you information about themselves through your website?  Using forms or via email?  Even if your site isn't specifically for children, if they can you could be in violation!

However, compliance isn't hard or very time consuming.

The good news is that we can help you quickly and inexpensively comply with this new Federal Law.

We can also help you stay in compliance, so that new web designers or new content don't place you at risk - periodic good faith audits also reduce the risk of fines if you are found to be non-compliant!

Kidz Privacy Is Now The Law!

Can you afford to wait?  Built into this new law is the ability for states to enforce it as well.  Plus any private attorney can take action against you in court - such that you would be responsible for not only damages and fines, but potentially the legal fees for ALL parties!


Federal Trade Commission
enforces COPPA and investigates
violation complaints.

Remember that if you are discovered to be in non-compliance, the Federal Government can levy fines of $11,000 per violation.  There could be a violation for each person that contacts you through your website! 

Don't delay, at least find out for sure!
