ButtonBox™ and COPPA

What is COPPA?
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) was signed into law on October 21, 1998 and is effective as of April 21, 2000. The purpose of COPPA is to regulate the online collection and use of personal information provided by and concerning children under the age of thirteen. On October 21, 1999, the Federal Trade Commission, pursuant to the requirements of COPPA, published final rules in the Federal Register implementing COPPA. The Rules set forth the specific manner in which entities are expected to comply with, and how the FTC will enforce, COPPA.

Parents...
We do not allow the ButtonBox Desktop service to be registered by children under 13. However, if you are aware that your young child is using our service and would like their account terminated, please contact our abuse department:
