Summary of Bill S 836

Bill 119 s 836, also known as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Amendment, aims to enhance the protections for children and teenagers regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of their personal information online. The original COPPA was enacted in 1998 to address concerns about the online privacy of children under the age of 13.

The proposed amendment seeks to update and strengthen COPPA in response to the evolving landscape of the internet and the increasing use of online platforms by young people. The bill includes provisions to address issues such as the collection of geolocation data, the use of facial recognition technology, and the sharing of personal information with third parties.

Additionally, the amendment aims to improve transparency and accountability for online platforms that collect personal information from children and teens. It requires these platforms to provide clear and easily accessible privacy policies, obtain parental consent for the collection of personal information, and establish procedures for the deletion of personal information upon request. Overall, Bill 119 s 836 seeks to ensure that children and teenagers are better protected from potential privacy violations online and that online platforms are held accountable for their handling of personal information.
