Plain-English summary
Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act
This bill extends to minors (ages 12–16) privacy protections previously applicable only to children (ages 0–12) and otherwise establishes greater online privacy protections for children and minors.
Specifically, the bill prohibits an operator of a website, online service, online application, or mobile application directed to, or used or reasonably likely to be used by, a child or minor from collecting the user's personal information without
- providing notice and obtaining consent,
- providing a parent or minor with certain information upon request,
- conditioning participation by a user on the provision of personal information,
- establishing and maintaining reasonable procedures to protect the personal information collected from users.
The bill also prohibits targeted marketing directed to a child or directed to a minor without the minor's consent.
