Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) - 2018 (Amended by CPRA 2020)
The CCPA grants California consumers new rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale of their data.
This policy requires businesses to be more transparent about data collection and usage, potentially affecting how polyfill.io might track usage analytics or user agents for conditional polyfill delivery, requiring strict adherence to data privacy principles.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - 2018
The GDPR is a comprehensive data protection law in the European Union and European Economic Area that regulates the processing of personal data and grants individuals rights over their data.
For polyfill.io, GDPR impacts how it collects and processes any user data, even minimal browser information for polyfill serving, necessitating consent mechanisms and robust data protection practices to avoid severe penalties.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) - 1998 (Revised 2013)
COPPA imposes certain requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13 years of age, or on operators that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information online from children under 13.
While polyfill.io directly targets developers, if their clients' web properties cater to children, polyfill.io needs to ensure its underlying data practices comply with COPPA, especially regarding any data collected from end-users on those sites.
