Children's Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2025 | Last Updated: January 1, 2025
At Well Known, we are deeply committed to protecting the privacy, safety, and well-being of all users, with special emphasis on minors. This Children's Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information from users under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction). This policy is designed to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), GDPR-K, and other applicable data protection regulations.
Important Notice: Our core services and platforms are not designed for or directed to children under 13. If you are a parent or legal guardian, please review this policy carefully to understand how your child's information may be handled and how you can exercise control over it.
1. Information We Collect
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. In limited, age-appropriate features or educational contexts, we may collect:
- First name or chosen username (non-identifying where possible)
- Parental or guardian email address (solely for consent verification and communication)
- Usage analytics (aggregated, non-personal, and anonymized data)
- User-generated content (automatically filtered for safety and moderated by human reviewers)
We explicitly refrain from collecting sensitive personal information such as full names, home addresses, phone numbers, or financial data from children without explicit, documented parental authorization.
2. How We Use Information
Any information collected is strictly utilized for:
- Delivering age-appropriate content, features, and services
- Verifying and documenting parental consent
- Improving platform functionality through aggregate analytics
- Communicating with parents regarding account activity, safety notices, or policy updates
Under no circumstances do we sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share children's personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.
3. Parental Consent & Control
Before collecting any personal information from a child, we require verifiable parental consent through secure email verification or certified mail. Parents and guardians retain full control and may:
- Review the information we hold about their child
- Delete their child's data from our systems at any time
- Refuse further collection or use of their child's information
- Modify consent preferences through our dedicated privacy portal
4. Data Security & Safety Measures
We implement industry-leading security protocols to protect children's information, including end-to-end encryption, strict access controls, regular penetration testing, and automated content moderation. While no online service is entirely immune to risks, we continuously update our defenses and encourage parents to actively supervise their children's digital experiences.
5. Third-Party Links & Integrated Services
Our platforms may occasionally reference or link to third-party educational or entertainment services. This policy does not extend to external websites or apps. We strongly recommend that parents review the privacy policies of any third-party services their children may access and enable parental controls where available.
6. Updates to This Policy
We periodically review and may update this Children's Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or regulatory requirements. Material changes will be communicated directly to parents via registered email or prominent on-platform notice. Continued use of our services after such updates constitutes acknowledgment of the revised terms.
