Disney countered the Center for Digital Democracy’s filing with the FTC over Disney’s alleged noncompliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Wednesday (CD Dec 19 p15). “Contrary to any suggestion in the press release and complaint filed by the Center for Digital Democracy, we are fully mindful of our obligations under COPPA and have robust processes in place to meet them. CDD never brought their concerns to us and instead issued an inflammatory and inaccurate release,” said Disney in a statement. COPPA, , which was revised a year ago by the FTC, gives parents more control over their children’s online data (CD Dec 20/12 p19).
