Clean Slate for Kids Online Act of 2023
This bill amends the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to give individuals who were minors when their data was collected the right to request deletion of that information once they turn 13. It requires websites and online services directed at children (or those knowing they collected children's data) to: (1) clearly notify users how to request deletion, (2) delete all childhood data upon request, (3) provide written confirmation of deletion, and (4) only retain limited data for legal or safety reasons like court orders. The law directly affects online platforms collecting children's personal information, mandating new procedures for data deletion requests. It does not override parental consent given at the time of collection but allows individuals over 13 or their guardians to override it for deletion.
