What is the Children’s Code (AADC), and who does it apply to?
The Children’s Code, also known as the Age Appropriate Design Code (AADC), is a set of 15 standards that online services must adhere to in order to protect children’s data and comply with data protection laws. The purpose of these standards is to ensure that online environments are safe and appropriate for children.
The scope of the Children’s Code is broad and encompasses a variety of online services, including:
– Apps: Any mobile or web-based applications that might be accessed by children.
– Games: Online and offline games that could attract a young audience.
– Connected toys and devices: Smart toys and IoT devices that children might use.
– News services: Online news platforms that might be accessible to children.
It’s important to note that even if children are not your primary audience, but there is a likelihood that they may access your service, you are required to comply with the Children’s Code. This means you need to take proactive steps to ensure the safety and privacy of young users, providing a secure online experience tailored to their needs.
