# COPPA
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ([COPPA](https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/rules/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-coppa)) sets guidelines for collecting and processing personal information from children under the age of 13. It applies to apps and digital services, either directed at children or serving a general audience, where children may be present. You must assess both the nature of the content and the intended audience when configuring COPPA-related settings.
DT FairBid allows you to configure COPPA compliance at the app or placement level. The app level includes placements and users to inherit the same settings. Placement-level configurations allow you to apply different COPPA settings to specific placements. COPPA compliance at any level confirms that the app, or placement context, is not directed at children under the age of 13 or to a general audience that may include them.
To configure COPPA at the app level, select the checkbox when you add an app. This confirms that your app is COPPA-compliant.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.digitalturbine.com/dt-fairbid/privacy/coppa.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
