Whether playing, shopping, studying or just surfing, today's
kids are taking advantage of all that the web has to offer. But when it comes to their
personal information, who's in charge? The Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, requires
commercial website operators to get parental consent before collecting any personal
information from kids under 13. COPPA allows teachers
to act on behalf of a parent during school activities online, but does not require them to do so. That is, the
law does not require teachers to make decisions about the collection of their students'
personal information. Check to see whether your school district has a policy about
disclosing student information. Listed below are some resources for teachers. Call us
