As far as I can interpret (http://www.coppa.org/comply.htm), all you need is a link to your privacy policy if you are collecting information for internal use only.

@Jason

Typically on a form for instance, you can have users enter a birthday and redirect them if they are under 13

That’s not necessarily true. I’ve seen lots of forms that simply have a checkbox saying “I acknowledge that I am over 13 years of age” (or whatever age requirement). That is something that’s possible with Event Espresso. Just create a required question with that as the “question” and only one response (I acknowledge).

Hi Jason,

Would it work to only ask for a Parent or Guardians email address?

I’ve created a feature request ticket so the dev team is aware of this issue. If the only way to make the registration form COPPA compliant is to redirect someone away from the form by using an age selection question, then it would involve some custom development. At the very least, some custom jQuery could be added to add some “Age” validation, and not allow the form to be submitted if it didn’t meet the criteria.
