Compare with different regulatory event:
On 19 July 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced it will launch a consultation on a new mechanism for obtaining parental consent under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act Rule (COPPA). COPPA requires online sites and services to obtain parental consent before collecting or using a child’s personal information. To facilitate implementation, COPPA allows entities to request the FTC to approve new methods of verifiable parental consent. In this context, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) together with Yoti, a digital identity company, and SuperAwesome, a technology provider of children’s privacy safeguards, applied for approval of a “Privacy-Protective Facial Age Estimation” technology which analyzes the geometry of a user’s face to confirm that they are an adult. In particular, the FTC will publish the consultation in the Federal Register to examine whether this new mechanism is covered by existing methods, whether the mechanism complies with COPPA, and whether the mechanism poses privacy risks.
