Apps designed for children must not show third-party ads, must not send children's data to outside companies, and must use parental permission prompts when collecting personal information from minors.
Children using apps in the Kids Category are protected from third-party data sharing and advertising tracking, but parents should verify that apps targeting their children are correctly categorized in the Kids Category to ensure these protections apply.

These rules are designed to protect children's privacy and safety online, and failure to comply can expose developers to significant regulatory penalties under COPPA and equivalent laws globally.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implements COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.) requirements, enforced by the FTC with civil penalties up to $51,744 per violation per day. It also engages GDPR Art. 8 (age of digital consent, varying by member state from 13-16), UK Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code), and California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AB 2273). The provision's reference to 'privacy laws around the world relating to the collection of data from children' creates a broad compliance obligation without specifying a definitive standard.
