In the Know: Keeping Up With Children’s Privacy Laws

Teens, tweens and kids of all ages are immersed in more digital media than ever, from social media apps to gaming channels and music and video streaming services. This puts children’s privacy in the headlines—and in the spotlight for federal and state regulators and lawmakers. 

Regulators like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have been expanding the types of businesses and services covered by existing federal laws like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). At the same time, states are passing their own children’s privacy laws, many implementing more extensive restrictions. 

These developments mean that businesses may need to comply with children’s privacy laws now or in the near future, even if they haven’t before. 

Complying with children’s privacy laws and regulations can be challenging. Loeb & Loeb can help. Check out the next episode of our In the Know series, “Keeping Up With Children’s Privacy Laws,” narrated by partner Nerissa Coyle McGinn, to learn more about new and developing children’s privacy laws and how our Privacy, Security and Data Innovations practice can help businesses comply.
