Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act — minors' provisions · HB 154

In force — Effective and enforceable today. · Privacy law (minors) · effective 2025-01-01 · binds operators

Ages: Known minors 13-17; children under 13 per COPPA

Requires: A controller must not process the personal data of a consumer for targeted advertising or sell it without the consumer's consent where the controller has actual knowledge or willfully disregards that the consumer is at least 13 but under 18 (Del. Code tit. 6 § 12D-106(a)(7)). Sensitive data concerning a known child (under 13) may not be processed without parental consent, and controllers complying with COPPA's verifiable parental consent are deemed compliant (§ 12D-106(a)(4)). Processing minors' data for these purposes also triggers a data protection assessment.

Federal · COPPAapplies here too

Regardless of state law, COPPA governs personal information collected from children under 13: notice, verifiable parental consent, data minimization, and — under the 2025 amended Rule — limits on retention and third-party sharing.

How Delaware compares

Not legal advice. I build products for a living; I'm not a lawyer. Compiled from primary sources and reviewed monthly as part of the State Children's Privacy Law Tracker; AI-assisted research, verified against each law's official source — but laws and injunctions change fast, so confirm the latest before relying on it.
