Buffalo, NY – December 4, 2015 – Whoops! COPPA is not one of Santa’s eight tiny reindeer. It’s the acronym for the “Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act,” a law that gives parents more control over who collects information from and about their children. The rules apply to all mobile apps and websites, even those based at the North Pole.
