COPPA

Important

It’s mandatory to use a privacy dialog to comply with Play Store and App Store policies and also avoid any revenue loss.
If you use MAS built-in privacy dialog, COPPA will be configured automatically.
If you prefer using your own privacy dialog, you should check the user’s age and set COPPA manually.
You need to set COPPA before initializing MAS.

1. What is COPPA?

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is an American legal framework that safeguards children’s privacy. For details, check this blog post. The Apple App Store and Google Play have rules in place to make sure games comply with COPPA.

2. What are Apple App Store’s Rules?

If an app is designed specifically for children under 13 years of age, it must include COPPA compliance.

3. What are Google Play’s Rules?

Developers submitting games and applications meant for children or for a general audience including children under 13 years old MUST comply with Google Play’s Designed for Families policy. If you do not, Google Play will disable your game/app.

					Yodo1U3dMas.SetCOPPA(false);

Android
