Redline Comparison of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Rule Review
On January 18, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) finalized its review of the COPPA Rule. Following the FTC’s notice of proposed rulemaking issued in January 2024, this announcement is the latest in a multi-year review of the COPPA Rule, which was last updated in 2013 and which the FTC began reviewing potential updates to in 2019. The final rule will become effective 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register. Entities subject to the final rule will have one year from that publication date to come into full compliance with amendments that do not specify earlier compliance dates.
FPF created this redlined comparison document between the COPPA rule as it currently stands and the finalized COPPA rule that will go into effect later this year.
