Children's privacy and COPPA: does your policy address minors?
Sites that may reach children carry extra obligations. ClauseReport checks whether the policy addresses children's privacy.
This is part of our series explaining every check in the ClauseReport model. It is general information, not legal advice.
What ClauseReport checks
This is an AI-assisted check in the Completeness category. ClauseReport looks for whether children’s privacy addressed is addressed on the site or in its published policy.
Why it matters
Clear, accurate disclosures build trust with visitors and make the rest of your compliance work easier. The point isn’t to render a legal verdict — it’s to surface a factual gap you (or your counsel) can act on.
What a clean result looks like
A statement on children’s privacy — for example, not knowingly collecting data from children under 13, with a deletion path.
The common gap
No children’s-privacy language on a site whose audience could plausibly include minors.
ClauseReport scans any website’s privacy policy and terms of service and reports findings like this one — factual observations, never legal conclusions. Run a free scan to see how your site does on this check.
