Children's Privacy Policy

RaiseIt Inc. ("we," "our," or "us") is deeply committed to protecting the privacy and safety of children online. This Children's Privacy Policy supplements our main Privacy Policy and explains how we handle information involving minors in compliance with applicable laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), GDPR, and other regional data protection regulations.

1. Our Commitment to Children's Safety

RaiseIt is a crowdfunding platform designed for adults who are legally able to enter into binding contracts, manage financial transactions, and launch or fund projects. Our services are not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, such as 16 in the European Union).

We take proactive measures to ensure that our platform remains a safe and appropriate environment for adult creators, backers, and business users.

2. Age Eligibility & Account Creation

To use RaiseIt, create an account, launch a campaign, or make a financial contribution, you must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). During registration, we require users to confirm their age. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this age requirement.

If we discover that a user has misrepresented their age or that we have unknowingly collected personal information from a child under the applicable age threshold, we will take immediate steps to verify the information and, if confirmed, delete the data from our systems in accordance with legal requirements.

3. Information Collection & Processing

While we do not design RaiseIt for children, we recognize that younger users may occasionally access our platform. In such cases:

• We do not require personal information to browse public campaign pages.
• Account creation, payment processing, and communication features are restricted to verified adult users.
• We do not use tracking technologies that are specifically designed to collect data from children.
• Any information inadvertently collected from a minor will be reviewed and deleted promptly upon discovery or parental request.

4. Parental Rights & Verification

Parents or legal guardians who believe that RaiseIt has collected personal information from a child under the applicable age limit can contact us immediately. We require reasonable verification of parental authority before processing deletion or disclosure requests to protect user security.

Upon verified request, we will:

• Confirm whether the account or data belongs to a minor.
• Delete all personally identifiable information associated with the child.
• Terminate any related accounts or transaction records where legally permissible.
• Respond within 30 days, or as required by applicable law.

5. Third-Party Links & External Services

RaiseIt campaigns may occasionally link to external websites, media platforms, or payment processors. This policy applies only to our own platform. We encourage parents to monitor their children's online activity and educate them about safe internet practices, as third-party services have their own privacy policies and age requirements.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Children's Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. For significant changes affecting minors' data, we will provide additional notice as required by law.
