Can I offer contests that involve mobile apps in Oklahoma? What are the requirements?
Based on the information provided in the context documents, it appears that offering contests that involve mobile apps in Oklahoma is allowed. However, it is important to ensure that the contest complies with relevant laws and regulations, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) if the contest involves collecting personal information from children under the age of 13.
According to FAQ N.2 of the COPPA guidelines [1], schools may provide consent on behalf of parents for the collection of personal information from students for the use and benefit of the school, and for no other commercial purpose. However, it is important to note that operators should not state in their Terms of Service or anywhere else that the school is responsible for complying with COPPA, as it is the responsibility of the operator.
In terms of requirements for contests involving mobile apps in Oklahoma, the Drive Oklahoma contest [2] provides an example of a contest that involves using a mobile app to plan a route and entering the contest by confirming an email/phone number. The contest rules state that all data will be kept private. However, it is important to review any relevant state or federal laws and regulations to ensure compliance.
Therefore, while it appears that offering contests that involve mobile apps in Oklahoma is allowed, it is important to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, including COPPA if the contest involves collecting personal information from children under the age of 13.
