On Friday, the FTC published updates to the COPPA FAQs, the Commission's compliance guide for businesses and consumers, to address the applicability of COPPA and the Amended COPPA Rule to educational institutions and businesses that provide online services, including mobile apps, to educational institutions. Specifically, nearly a year after the last update to the "COPPA and Schools FAQs", the Commission revisited its answers to FAQs M.1, M.2, and M.5 and deleted FAQ M.6 in an attempt to streamline the FAQs to provide further clarity on the key topics of notice and consent, best practices for educational institutions, and the interplay between COPPA and other federal and state laws that may apply in the education space. To access our blog post on the prior update to the COPPA and Schools FAQs please click here.
