Q

Privacy Laws Requiring Opt-In Consent, and Circumstances Where Opt-In is Appropriate

A

1) COPPA - consent of parent before collecting PI of children under 13
2) HIPAA - consent before PHI disclosed to 3rd parties, subject to exceptions.
3) FCRA - consent before consumer’s credit report provided to employer, lender or other authorized recipient.

FTC believes opt-in consent should ocurr before PI collected under one privacy notice is processed under a materially changed privacy notice.

Industry segments may require double opt-in - where opt in and then confirm (email marketing, eg).

  • Opt-in preferred as best practice for geo-location data
  • GDPR requires opt-in for marketing to occur.
