COPPA — the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act — is the US federal law restricting the collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. For K-12 schools deploying software to elementary and middle school students, COPPA compliance is a critical procurement requirement. Schools can provide consent on behalf of parents for educational purposes, but only when the vendor limits data collection to what is necessary for the educational service. The 9 products on this page have indicated COPPA compliance.

COPPA requires that any online service collecting data from children under 13 must obtain verifiable parental consent or work through the school as an intermediary. Schools can authorise tools for educational use, but must ensure vendors limit data collection accordingly.
COPPA specifically covers children under 13. However, many states have student privacy laws extending similar protections to all K-12 students. Always check your state's requirements in addition to federal COPPA compliance.
Look for participation in a COPPA safe harbour programme such as those operated by ESRB Privacy, TrustArc, or kidSAFE. These provide independent verification beyond self-reported compliance.
