certain statutorily required notice requirements that apply to
operators of any website or online service directed to children and
operators of any website or online service that have actual knowledge
they are collecting personal information from children. The Rule also
applies to operators that have actual knowledge that they collect
personal information from users of another website or online service
that is directed to children. Covered operators must, among other
things: Provide online notice and direct notice to parents of how they
collect, use, and disclose children's personal information; obtain the
prior consent of the child's parent in order to engage in such
collection, use, and disclosure, with limited exceptions; provide
reasonable means for the parent to obtain access to the information and
to direct its deletion; and, establish procedures that protect the
confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information
collected from children.
