The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act is intended to protect the privacy of children under 13 years old. You have several options that allow you flexibility in complying with this law. Should you choose to prohibit users under 13 from registering you are not to encourage users to lie about their age and you should take action to remove the account of any user found to be under 13. Should you choose to allow users under 13 on your board without permission forms, you must not collect or allow personal information to be posted by those users. |
