At Sitter.Live, we take the privacy and security of our users very seriously. We understand that when it comes to children, parents want to ensure that their personal information is protected at all times.
Sitter.Live intentions are to comply with all relevant laws and regulations regarding the collection and storage of personal information, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We take our responsibility to protect children's privacy very seriously, and we have implemented a number of safeguards to ensure that we meet all necessary legal requirements.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law in the United States that was enacted in 1998 to protect children's privacy online. The law applies to websites, mobile apps, and other online services that collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
In addition, companies must take reasonable steps to ensure that the information they collect from children is kept secure and confidential, and must delete the information once it is no longer needed. Companies must also provide parents with the ability to review and delete their child's information, and must obtain parental consent before making any material changes to their privacy policies.
Overall, COPPA is an important law that helps protect children's privacy online and ensures that companies are transparent about their data collection practices.
