Before any auctions from exchanges are forwarded to an individual customer's Bidder-as-a-Service, Beeswax performs some basic hygiene on the requests. This document explains some reasons why a bid request would be dropped prior to customer filtering.

COPPA

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (or COPPA) was created in order to place restrictions on the “operators of commercial websites and online services (including mobile apps) directed to children under 13 that collect, use, or disclose personal information from children.” [1]

If a bid request is marked as COPPA by the exchange, it means that the request has been identified as:

• Originating from content directed toward users under 13 years of age, or
• Originating from a user known to be under 13. [2]

In order to ensure full compliance with this regulation, all bid requests flagged as COPPA are dropped by Beeswax.
