In the US what is the deal with "for kids" for legal compliance in a website.
In the US, websites that are designed for children under the age of 13 must comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This law requires website operators to provide notice about the collection of personal information from children and obtain verifiable parental consent for the collection, use, and/or disclosure of such information. Websites that are specifically designed for children under 13 must also adhere to additional requirements, such as providing a privacy policy and providing parents with access to their children’s personal information.
Do and provisions in COPPA apply to websites that don't collect personal information?
No, COPPA does not apply to websites that do not collect any personal information from children. COPPA only applies to websites that collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13.
