The state of enforcement: Part II — Kids and teens’ privacy
A new IAPP enforcement review examines how regulators are applying children's and teenagers' privacy laws, tracking the current landscape of enforcement actions and compliance expectations for organizations that collect data from younger users.
Why this matters: Kids' privacy enforcement is picking up, and that matters for any company with an app, a website, or a service that a minor might use. The rules are stricter than general consumer privacy law, and regulators have shown they will act. Parents largely have no idea what data is being collected on their children or how it is used. When enforcement is weak, companies have little reason to stop. When it gets serious, the companies that built products around young users' attention and data face real accountability.
