Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Compliance
What is COPPA? Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule ("COPPA") | Federal Trade Commission
Mitzvah Tools complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which requires parental consent before children under 13 can have an online account.
To ensure privacy and compliance, a new student account workflow has been introduced.
When a Program Manager selects Activate, the parent will receive an email to create their own password and then provide consent for their student the be added to Mitzvah Tools.
Upon selecting the link in the email, parents will be asked to create a password for their account and provide consent for their child(ren).
The Program Manager Dashboard will display when parent consent has been received and then the additional details for the student can be added.
Once the parent has provided consent, they will receive an email with a link to create a password for their child's account as well as be provided with their system generated username.
When clicking the link provided in the confirmation email, the user is taken to a First Time Login Screen.
