New COPPA FAQs can help schools make the grade

Educators, administrators, and parents have been asking an important question: How do the protections of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the accompanying Federal Trade Commission rule apply in the school setting?

FTC staff has responded by updating Complying with COPPA: Frequently Asked Questions to address some of the issues that arise when COPPA goes to school.

The new FAQs cover key compliance topics and offer guidance on best practices.
