COPPA

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) is a U.S. federal law that regulates how websites and online services collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under 13 years old. For AI governance, COPPA matters because organizations deploying AI systems that interact with or collect data from children must ensure compliance with strict parental consent requirements and data minimization principles. Companies face significant penalties for violations, making COPPA a critical consideration when designing AI applications in education, social media, gaming, and other child-facing digital services.

Anthropic's Age Assurance Policy Shifts Minor-Access Compliance Onto Deployers

Anthropic has published a formal age assurance policy for Claude, restricting the service's availability to minors. The policy creates direct compliance obligations for enterprise operators and platform builders who embed Claude in products that could reach underage users. Organizations without independent age-verification controls are now at risk of misalignment with both the platform policy and applicable child safety regulations.
