Impactful Policy Frameworks
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
COPPA (1998, updated 2013) imposes requirements on operators of online services directed to children under 13 years of age, or operators of other online services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information online from a child under 13.
Huckleberry must ensure robust data privacy and parental consent mechanisms are in place for any data collected from children under 13 or features used by them.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) / California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
The CCPA (2018), significantly expanded by the CPRA (2020), grants California consumers extensive rights regarding their personal information collected by businesses, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of sales.
Huckleberry must provide clear disclosures about data collection and usage, and facilitate consumer rights requests regarding parental and child data, potentially increasing compliance costs.
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Data Management and Sharing Policy
Effective January 25, 2023, this NIH policy requires all NIH-funded research that generates scientific data to include a Data Management and Sharing Plan outlining how the data will be managed and shared.
While not directly regulating Huckleberry's product, if Huckleberry seeks NIH funding for research or collaborates with NIH-funded entities, they must adhere to strict data management and sharing protocols, impacting data handling practices and potential research partnerships.
