Children's Online Privacy Protection Act compliance covering age determination, parental consent, data minimization for children, and operator obligations.
This audit evaluates 18 checks across age determination mechanisms (age gates, neutral design, underage blocking), parental consent workflows (verifiable consent, FTC-approved methods, parent review/revoke), data minimization for children (no behavioral ads, no persistent cross-site identifiers, no geolocation without consent), and operator obligations (children's privacy policy, direct notice, retention limits, third-party COPPA binding). For any application that may be used by children under 13, this audit identifies COPPA compliance gaps.
