Key regulations behind youth advertising

What is COPPA?

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law that governs the online collection of personal information from children under 13. It requires verifiable parental consent and places strict limits on data collection and behavioral advertising.

What is LGPD?

Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) has a dedicated chapter for protecting children and adolescents. It requires specific parental consent for any data collection and dictates that all data processing must be conducted in the child's best interest.

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) includes specific, stricter rules for processing the personal data of children in the EU. It establishes a high bar for consent (requiring parental permission for children under a certain age, typically 13-16) and mandates a "privacy by design" approach.
