To the extent that the following laws apply to certain Processing, the following applies.
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of Personal Data from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control.

CAN SPAM Act
