Parental Consent - Integrity

Parental Consent for The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

COPPA gives parents control over what information websites can collect from their kids. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) COPPA Rule specifies how sites catering to children must handle personal information, and obtain parental consentwhen doing so. In February of 2012, the FTC’s Commissioners voted 4-0 to approve The Integrity Children’s Privacy Compliance Program, designed by Aristotle , designating it as a “Safe Harbor” program under COPPA.

Aristotle’s Integrity™ COPPA Solution:

Offers 13 online and offline mechanisms include real-time face-to-face verification of parents via Skype or similar videoconferencing technologies.
Gives parents the authority to say, “I am the adult responsible for this child and you may include him or her in this activity.” If a parent says “no”, the child may not participate.

Where the provider is an online business, the FTC-approved safe harbor program is insurance against legal exposure and brand risk.
