Description🔗

Due to the adoption of the COPPA law in USA and the UK Code in the UK, you need to get the consent of the child's parent/guardian with the rules of the service. MGS offers you a convenient tool for easy implementation of COPPA in your product.

MRGS allows you to:

  • Show an HTML-based window
    • Your HTML layout is used for the display
    • Our standard HTML layout is used for the display
  • Restrict access of underage users to the application

Examples🔗

Our standard window:

age restrict

email check

Key features🔗

  • Simple universal API. You can quickly and easily implement work with COPPA on any platform thanks to the simplicity of the API.
  • Support for multiple display options. You can show both our agreement and a custom one, compiled using HTML.
  • Easy integration with GDPR.

Steps to implement into the project🔗

Step 1. Add SDK to the client🔗

client_icon

Note

Click on the platform to go to the SDK implementation description section.

Step 2. Conduct Integration Testing🔗

To verify that COPPA is displayed correctly and the integration was successful, you must:

Use a VPN to emulate the situation when the user is in a country that falls under COPPA (the list is given below in the "Countries" section), launch the application - the COPPA window should appear.

If it was not possible to determine the country by ip

If it was not possible to determine the country by ip, we believe that the user does NOT fit the law.

Countries🔗

We are showing a window for users of countries: «US», «GB»

Shown agreement🔗

You can get acquainted with the documents that are shown to the user by following the links:

  1. Terms of usage (EULA)
  2. Privacy Policy

To view the agreement in other languages, substitute the language you want instead of lang=en at the end of the link, for example,lang=ru. Available languages: ru, en, zh, "zh-CN", "zh-TW", fr, de, it, ja, ko, pt, es, tr.

Relationship with GDPR and presentation logic🔗

COPPA is an analogue of the GDPR, only for users under a certain age, so these are mutually exclusive things - either the user accepts agreements through COPPA (if he is under a certain age and cannot accept them himself), or through the GDPR, agreeing to the terms of use himself. Therefore, the display of the COPPA window will only occur for users who have not accepted the GDPR before (that is, for new users), after the acceptance of COPPA (by parents via email), the GDPR window will no longer be shown (since the agreements have already been accepted), and further changes to the policy will be accepted also through the COPPA mechanism. If the user is older, then he skips the COPPA window, accepts the GDPR, and subsequently the COPPA window will never be shown to him, and all subsequent changes in the policy will also be accepted through the GDPR mechanism.
