  • we first request consent from parents to process the personal data in cases requiring parental consent;
  • we take appropriate security measures to protect the personal data of children and also require this from parties that process personal data on our behalf;
  • we respect the right to access children’s personal data or have it corrected or deleted, at the request of a parent or guardian.

1. Purposes

We use the personal data from children for one or more of the following purposes:

  • Registration

2. Registration

Sometimes children need to register on our website in order to play games or to view content. For this purpose we use the following data:

  • a first and last name
  • a home or other physical address including street name and name of a city or town
  • an email address from the parent or guardian
  • a telephone number
  • other information concerning the child or the parents, combined with an identifier as described above

3. Verifiable Parental Consent

UK-GDPR/Data Protection Act requires that we search consent from a parent or guardian if we wish to collect personal data from a child. We use the following method(s):

  • We seek a parent or guardian's consent by email

Parents and guardians can refuse their consent, and can request that we delete any personal information we might have already collected. This might also mean that an account or membership will be terminated.

4. When verifiable parental consent is not required

Verifiable parental consent is not required in the case of:

  1. online contact information collected from a child that is used only to respond directly on a one-time basis to a specific request from the child and is not used to recontact the child and is not maintained in retrievable form by the operator;
  2. a request for the name or online contact information of a parent or child that is used for the sole purpose of obtaining parental consent or providing notice and where such information is not maintained in retrievable form by the operator if parental consent is not obtained after a reasonable time;
  3. online contact information collected from a child that is used only to respond more than once directly to a specific request from the child and is not used to recontact the child beyond the scope of that request
    1. if, before any additional response after the initial response to the child, the operator uses reasonable efforts to provide a parent notice of the online contact information collected from the child, the purposes for which it is to be used, and an opportunity for the parent to request that the operator make no further use of the information and that it not be maintained in retrievable form; or
    2. without notice to the parent in such circumstances as the Information Commissioner’s Office may determine are appropriate, taking into consideration the benefits to the child of access to information and services, and risks to the security and privacy of the child;
  4. the name of the child and online contact information (to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the safety of a child participant on the site)
    1. used only for the purpose of protecting such safety;
    2. not used to recontact the child or for any other purpose; and
    3. not disclosed on the site,
    if the operator uses reasonable efforts to provide a parent notice of the name and online contact information collected from the child, the purposes for which it is to be used, and an opportunity for the parent to request that the operator make no further use of the information and that it not be maintained in retrievable form; or
  5. the collection, use, or dissemination of such information by the operator of such a website or online service necessary
    1. to protect the security or integrity of its website;
