How does the FTC enforce the Rule?
The FTC monitors the Internet for compliance with the Rule and brings law enforcement actions when appropriate to deter violations. Parents and others may submit complaints to the FTC through the FTC website, www.ftc.gov, and toll free number, (877) FTC-HELP. Consumer groups, industry members, Commission-approved COPPA safe harbor programs, and other members of the public also may provide information concerning website operators that may not be in compliance with the Rule.
