Years ago, complying with privacy obligations for children was fairly simple—comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Today, however, the landscape has shifted dramatically. States across the country are rapidly enacting new laws aimed at protecting children online—focusing on the use of personal data, targeted advertising, and the growing role of AI in collecting, processing, and interacting with children’s information.
Beyond data privacy, many of these laws also seek to address broader concerns around a child’s physical and mental well-being in a digital-first world. Now with a multitude of passed and pending state laws on the issue, there are different standards from state to state. This evolving patchwork of state laws makes compliance increasingly complex for businesses. Join our panelists as they explore the latest laws, standards, and disconnects in this ever-complicated environment. This session will explore key trends, emerging standards, and the challenges posed by inconsistent regulations—offering practical insights to help organizations.
This webinar will include:
An overview of the legal and compliance landscape related to the collection, use, and retention of children’s data presented by Gary Kibel and Allison Fitzpatrick
A discussion between industry experts of specific use cases and strategic considerations for addressing these challenges over the next 12 months
A question-and-answer session with panelists to dive deeper into the topic
Whether you are an advertiser/brand, publisher/website, or advertising technology partner that directs or supports content to children this webinar will provide you with a better understanding of the complexity of this space and key considerations to help your organization manage it.

Allison has witnessed firsthand the explosive growth of influencer marketing on social media. As popular bloggers transformed themselves into social media influencers — with marketers signing them to lucrative contracts — she was instrumental in shaping those contracts and developing her client’s social media policies. Whether dealing with “micro” influencers in niche categories, or with major celebrities representing national brands, she helps clients navigate the rapidly evolving social media landscape.
Children’s marketers — as well as operators of child-targeted apps and websites — look to Allison for guidance in their online marketing efforts. Knowing the unique power digital media has over children, she routinely reviews websites, apps, privacy policies and marketing campaigns to ensure compliance with the Children’s Advertising Review Unit’s Self-Regulatory Guidelines, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and other laws.
Having worked on some of the industry’s most successful promotions, Allison bore witness to digital media’s dramatic transformation of the promotions industry, as she helped her clients transition from their traditional reliance on print and direct mail promotions to the social media world, where she advises clients on their sweepstakes, contests, free offers, loyalty rewards programs and other promotions.
Even as she keeps a close eye on emerging media platforms, Allison knows how to adapt the traditional principles of truthfulness in advertising to all aspects of her practice, whether advising clients on endorsements and testimonials, price advertising, claim substantiation, negative option marketing, or any other legal issue where those principles apply.
