Abstract
Description
The Federal Trade Commission is seeking public comment on proposed amendments to the Children s Online Privacy Protection Rule, which gives parents control over what personal information websites may collect from children under 13. The FTC proposes these amendments to ensure that the Rule continues to protect children s privacy, as mandated by Congress, as online technologies evolve. The Commission proposes modifications to the Rule in five areas: definitions, including the definitions of personal information and collection, parental notice, parental consent mechanisms, confidentiality and security of children s personal information, and the role of self-regulatory safe harbor programs.
