On June 18, 2024, the California Attorney General and Los Angeles City Attorney announced a significant $500,000 settlement with Tilting Point Media LLC for violations of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and California Unfair Competition Law (UCL). The violations involved the collection and processing of children's personal information without consent and inappropriate advertising to children. The investigation, initiated by the Children’s Advertising Review Unit (CARU) in September 2022, revealed that Tilting Point failed to provide effective age screening and obtain verifiable parental consent, among other breaches. In addition to paying $500,000 in civil penalties, Tilting Point must take several corrective actions, including ensuring all games directed to children comply with the CCPA and COPPA, enhancing their age screening mechanisms and privacy policies, configuring third-party SDKs, and conducting annual compliance assessments.

The Shanghai team at Keller and Heckman LLP reports on the latest developments in food labeling regulations as two agencies release drafts of new requirements. On June 27, 2024, China’s National Health Commission (NHC) published a draft of the Food Safety National Standard for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods (GB 7718-xxxx). The next day, the State Administration of Market Regulation (SAMR) released draft amendments to its Measures for Supervision and Administration of Food Labeling. These key documents address significant changes in food labeling, resulting from years of coordination between NHC and SAMR to streamline responsibilities and optimize label management. Industry stakeholders should closely monitor these developments as they form the regulatory framework for labeling prepackaged foods in China. Read more details about the updated labeling and claims requirements in the article below. https://lnkd.in/eGjuNT8j #food #labeling #claims #safety
