The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) was passed by the U.S. Congress in November 1998. COPPA requires that operators of online services or Web sites obtain parental consent prior to the collection, use, disclosure, or display of the personal information of children. The Federal Trade Commission established rules for the act's implementation, which went into effect April 21, 2000.
Because of COPPA, we have chosen not to collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. Because members must provide personal information to be identified as an author, you must be at least 13 to register as a CheatCodes.com Member.
If you are under 13, we invite you to browse our site anonymously as much as you like, then come back and register on your 13th birthday!
COPPA provides parents with specific rights regarding their children's privacy. For additional information and resources on COPPA, please visit the Federal Trade Commission Web site at http://www.ftc.gov/.
