Virginia SB237 establishes accountability measures for app stores and developers to protect minors.
The Virginia SB237, known as the App Store Accountability Act, mandates app store providers to offer clear parental consent disclosures for each app, including age ratings and content descriptions. App store providers must verify the age category of account holders and obtain verifiable parental consent for minors. Developers are required to assign age ratings, use industry standards for content determination, and protect data. The act prohibits app store providers from enforcing contracts against minors without parental consent and sharing age data except as required by law.
