For game developers looking to avoid violating federal laws, AgeCheq releases a free solution

Roy Smith is on a mission to save mobile game companies from the claws of the feds — specifically, those companies who may be violating the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) without knowing it.

Smith’s AgeCheq COPPA compliance SDK is now open — and free — to all mobile game developers using the Corona Labs 2D game engine. Corona is favored by many independent developers building virtual games.
