The '''Children's Code''' or '''Age Appropriate Design Code''' is a [[code of practice]] and set of standards for [[electronic information service]]s, requiring that they treat children and their data in an appropriate way. It was published by the [[Information Commissioner's Office]] (ICO), taking effect from September 2021. Even though the ICO is a UK regulatory agency, the code applies across the Internet and so the global providers of such services such as [[Facebook]], [[Google]] and [[TikTok]] are complying.{{r|ICO|NYT}}
==Penalties==
Penalties for non-compliance are similar to those of the [[General Data Protection Regulation]] and so include fines of up to 4% of global turnover.{{r|BBC}}
