Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act
Senate Committee Advances Kids' Online Privacy Bill, Expanding Protections to Teens Up to Age 16
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Would expand federal online privacy rules to cover teens ages 13–16, not just younger kids, on websites and apps.
- Would ban using kids’ or teens’ personal info for targeted, person-by-person ads, with limited exceptions like ads based on the page’s content.
- Would give parents (for kids) and teens (for themselves) rights to see what data a service has, delete it, and fix wrong information.
- Would require clear notices and meaningful consent before collecting or changing how a child’s or teen’s personal info is used or shared.
- Would require notice if a child’s or teen’s data is stored or moved outside the U.S., and limit keeping the data longer than needed.
