What it does

The bill expands the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act to also cover teens ages 13 to 16, and extends its rules to mobile and online applications, not just websites. It bans collecting, using, or sharing a child's or teen's personal information for individual-specific advertising, and requires operators to let parents or teens review, correct, and delete that information. Companies could keep personal information only as long as reasonably needed to provide the requested service.
