The Rule requires commercial websites and online services that collect personal information from children under 13 to post privacy policies, notify parents of their information practices, obtain verifiable parental consent, and provide parents with access to their children's information. Many kids websites have discontinued educational events, chat, website builders, clubs, contests, membership areas, or just stopped letting kids interact unless the parent provides written consent. Big job for the parents. Bigger job for the websites. The central registry consists of websites who care about privacy and who have installed IDQualified's IDSaver DirectoryLock password protection software on their website.
Parents use the central registry to register as a parent and issue passwords to each of their kids.
Then the parent can read each website's privacy policies, and quickly enable or disable their kid's password for each individual participating website. Links to the website's privacy policies. Links to the website's data change and review area. Information on each website, contact names, addresses, and email addresses. Simple checkboxes that add individual websites to the parent's approved list.
