Below you'll find the requirements for Website Operators. Click on  in
each section to read the Parents' Tips.

Website Operators Must:

Post their privacy policy.
Websites directed to children or that knowingly collect information from
kids under 13 must post a notice of their information collection practices
that includes:

  types of personal information they collect from kids-for example, name,
home address, email address or hobbies.

  how the site will use the information - for example, to market to the
child who supplied the information, to notify contest winners or to make
the information available through a child's participation in a chat room.

  whether personal information is forwarded to advertisers or other third
parties.

  a contact at the site.

Get parental consent.
In many cases, a site must obtain parental consent before collecting,
using or disclosing personal information about a child.

Consent is not required when a site is collecting an email address to:

  respond to a one-time request from the child.
  provide notice to the parent.
  ensure the safety of the child or the site.
  send a newsletter or other information on a regular basis as long as the
site notifies a parent and gives them a chance to say no to the
arrangement.

<snip>

  give a child access to a chat room if the parent's original consent
covered only sending a newsletter.

Allow parents to review personal information collected from their
children.

For Teachers
<http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/teachers.htm>

  Whether playing, shopping, studying or just surfing, today's kids are
taking advantage of all that the web has to offer. But when it comes to
their personal information, who's in charge? The Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, requires
commercial website operators to get parental consent before collecting any
personal information from kids under 13. COPPA allows teachers to act on
behalf of a parent during school activities online, but does not require
them to do so. That is, the law does not require teachers to make
decisions about the collection of their students' personal information.
Check to see whether your school district has a policy about disclosing
student information.
