ICO Publishes Final Version of Its Age Appropriate Design Code
On January 21, 2020, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) published the final version of its Age Appropriate Design Code, which sets out the standards that online services need to meet in order to protect children’s privacy.
The code lists 15 standards that organizations must meet, including requirements to (1) take into consideration the best interests of children, (2) refrain from using children’s personal data in ways that are detrimental to their wellbeing, and (3) ensure that settings are “high privacy” by default.
