AI-use reference. Current rule incorporates April 22, 2025 amendments. Applies to: Covered commercial online operators directed to children under 13 or with relevant actual knowledge; including qualifying AI/chatbot services. Requirements or purpose: Provide notice and obtain required verifiable parental consent; honor access/deletion; minimize collection; secure children’s data and limit retention. Current personal-information definition includes biometric identifiers. Limits: Not a blanket all-ages or all-municipal-data law. School authorization has limited educational conditions; commercial reuse needs separate review. Consult the current rule rather than treating every older FTC FAQ as updated.
