The COPPA Rule requires that website operators notify parents and obtain their consent before they collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13. The security failure that resulted in the massive data breach “put users including children’s personal information at risk.” In a statement published on the FTC.gov Web site, the agency said that RockYou violated COPPA by collecting information on roughly 179,000 children under the age of 13 without the consent of their parents. The Federal Trade Commission announced on Tuesday that it had reached a settlement with RockYou over violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) after the Web site allowed hackers to gain access to the personal information of its 32 million members.
