The U.K. Information Commissioner's Office published guidance aimed to assist children's online game developers and their U.K. Age-Appropriate Design Code compliance efforts. The guidance is based off recent company audits conducted by the ICO to best understand the compliance landscape. The regulator included recommendations for detailed risk assessments, age verification practices, transparency and "preventing the detrimental use of children's data." Editor's note: Baker McKenzie's Elizabeth Denham and Allen & Overy's Steve Wood outlined data protection trends in children's online gaming.
