Summary

Existing law, The Student Online Personal Information Protection Act, restricts the use of information about elementary and secondary school students by operators of certain Internet Web sites and online services and applications by, among other things, prohibiting operators from engaging in targeted advertising, amassing student profiles except for K–12 school purposes, or selling or disclosing student information, as specified. Existing law also requires an operator to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the covered information to protect the information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. Existing law also prohibits an operator of an Internet Web site or online service from knowingly using, disclosing, compiling, or allowing a 3rd party to use, disclose, or compile the personal information of a minor for the purpose of marketing or advertising specified types of products or services. Existing law also makes this prohibition applicable to an advertising service that is notified by an operator of an Internet Web site, online service, online application, or mobile application that the site, service, or application is directed to a minor.
