Federal Trade Commission Staff Report, Protecting Children’s Privacy Under COPPA: A Survey on Compliance (2002) (full-text).
Overview[]
This report assesses the information collection practices of children's websites. It provides the Commission with a snapshot of websites' compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (the "Rule") one year after it went into effect. While highlighting the general trend of increased compliance, the report also identifies particular aspects of the Rule to which websites were not fully adhering. In addition, the report establishes a benchmark for future analysis of Rule compliance and assists the Commission in evaluating changes in websites' information collection practices since the Commission's last formal survey of children's websites in 1998.
