Summary

New York, USA / Paris, France, September 18th, 2025 - Didomi and Sourcepoint announce the release of a guide to children's data privacy compliance, helping organizations get a comprehensive picture of the state of privacy for underage internet users in the U.S.

In the past few years, children’s privacy has undergone unprecedented transformation in the U.S: Federal COPPA rules have been updated for the first time in over a decade, while states across the country are rolling out new laws with stricter requirements, broader age ranges, and unique enforcement mechanisms. Add in multi-million dollar settlements, and it is clear that companies serving young audiences (or those who might) need to pay attention, or face rising compliance risks.

In this new whitepaper, the team at Didomi and Sourcepoint explore this changing environment in depth. From federal reform and state-level patchworks, to recent enforcement actions and practical strategies, the guide equips privacy professionals with the insights needed to adapt quickly and build comprehensive, future-proof privacy programs with children's rights in mind.

Julie Rubash, General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer at Sourcepoint by Didomi, led the creation of this resource with marketing intern Claire Xu. She explains the motivation behind the guide:

Navigating children’s privacy in the U.S. can be daunting given the increasingly fragmented regulatory landscape. Historically, businesses could focus on COPPA as the legal standard, but with the rapid passage of state children's privacy laws raising the bar, all businesses (even those outside the scope of COPPA) are forced to re-evaluate their practices through the lens of a complex patchwork of age ranges, knowledge thresholds, and verification requirements.

This whitepaper distills the complexity into a simple state-by-state reference guide, along with practical insights to help organizations manage risk and prepare for enforcement trends.

The guide also highlights actionable strategies, including advanced consent management, age verification, and operational best practices and incident response planning.

Whether you’re working in legal, compliance, product, or marketing, this resource will help you stay ahead of regulatory expectations while promoting greater transparency with your customers. Access the whitepaper now on our website:
