Site appears child-accessible but no children''s privacy disclosure

Privacy laws in the US (COPPA), the UK, and other countries have special rules about collecting data from children under 13 or 16. This check looks for a statement in your privacy policy explaining how you handle children's information. Without this disclosure, your business may be in breach of privacy regulations that carry significant fines per violation. Regulators also treat the absence of a children's policy as a red flag during investigations. Add a section to your privacy policy stating whether your service is intended for children, and if not, how you prevent collecting data from minors. If your service could be used by children, a web solicitor can advise on the specific disclosures required.
