Xsolla Unveils COPPA And GDPR-K Certified Parental Controls, Enabling Developers To Implement Compliant Direct-to-Consumer Strategies

LOS ANGELES, Oct 24 (Bernama) -- Xsolla, a global video game commerce company, is proud to introduce its Parental Controls solution, now certified with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) and GDPR-K badges. Xsolla’s enhanced Parental Controls offer game developers an integrated solution to safeguard young gamers while enabling parents to manage and control their children's access to digital payments, ensuring secure transactions.

As developers begin to embrace direct-to-consumer strategies, such as web shops, to complement platform sales, they face new challenges around compliance. While platforms manage many regulatory issues, games sold directly to consumers must navigate complexities that platforms previously shielded them from. This has become especially critical in recent years, as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has taken action against several game developers and digital content providers for violations of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
