Whats required to allow entrants under the age of 13 to participate?
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal statute that restricts the collection of personally identifiable information from children under 13. It also requires parental permission for participation by these children. You can review the COPPA requirements at http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/privacyinitiatives/childrens_lr.html. You can also review the BBB’s Children’s Advertising Review Unit Web site at www.caru.org to learn best practices for Sweepstakes, Games and Contests directed to children under 13.
