COPPA

General information

On April 21, 2000, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) became effective. The act governs the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 by individuals or entities within US jurisdiction. Pursuant to the Act, the application operator shall include in their privacy policy the methods for obtaining parental or caretaker's consent, as well as the operator's commitment to protecting the privacy and safety of children on the internet, including marketing restrictions.

Data about the user's age must be transmitted to the SDK every time the application starts.

Starting in version 5.4.0, the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK will enable you to restrict the collection of information from children under the age of 13.
