The act, which is focused on restricting the collection of personal information from children. The expanded COPPA rules limit a company’s ability to track items such including images, video and audio without receiving express parental consent.

Apple’s new App Store policies state that apps can only ask for a child’s age and nothing more. If the app does collect additional data such as a child’s address, email, videos, photos and other information, it must ensure it complies with applicable COPPA statutes.
