312.2-312.3 — Determine whether COPPA applies

Requirement

COPPA applies to operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13, and to general-audience or mixed-audience services with actual knowledge that they collect personal information from a child. The operator should document whether its service is child-directed (considering subject matter, visual content, characters, audience composition and advertising) and how it screens for age where the audience is mixed.

What the engine looks for

Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.

Equivalent controls elsewhere

Matched on shared topics. Satisfying this control usually moves these too.
