This Children's Online Privacy Policy provides an overview on how we handle children's personal data and forms a part of our regular Privacy Policy that explains in detail how we collect and use personal data from the users of Globelaxy Apps.

The US Children's Onlne Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires us to inform parents or legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal data from children under the age of 13. COPPA also requires that we get consent from parents or legal guardians before we allow children under the age of 13 to use and interact with some sections, applications, and activities on Globelaxy Apps. We offer users a number of activities, some of which are directed at children under the age of 13, and other activities that are targeted for older users.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires us to inform parents or legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal data from children under the age of 16 in some member countries of the European Union. The GDPR also requires that we get consent from parents or legal guardians before we allow children to use and interact with some sections, applications, and activities on Globelaxy Apps.

Verifiable Parental Consent

Should we want to collect personal data from a child under the age of 13 in the US, COPPA requires that we first obtain a parent or legal guardian's consent. In an email (or other approved method) sent to the parent or legal guardian we will describe what information we would like to collect, how we propose to use it, how the parent can offer and cancel consent. If we do not obtain consent from the parent within a reasonable timeframe, we will remove the child and parent information collected with the request.

Teacher Consent in Replace of a Parent

For school-based activities, school administrators and teachers are allowed under COPPA to act on behalf of the parents to give consent when collecting personal information from children. Teachers and school administrators should always inform parents when collecting personal information from children on their behalf.

Information We Collect From Children, How We Use It, and Parental Rights

Registration

Children can register with Globelaxy Apps to use our applications, software, online applications, view content, participate in contests, receive emails, and engage in other activities. By doing so we may collect information from children. When we collect personal information from a child, we will hold that information only as long as reasonably necessary to allow the child to continue to use and interact with Globealxy Apps. As soon as child's personal data is no more necessary, we will securely delete it from our systems.

During the registration process we may ask a child to give us information for security purposes, announcements, and notifications. This information includes child's:

Name;
Age (to validate the child's age); and
Email address; and
Parent's or legal guardian's email address and other contact information (if relevant).

Children can choose whether to provide their information to us; however some of Globelaxy Apps features may not function without the required information.

To comply with COPPA requirements, on Globelaxy Apps where we ask for the age of a user who is under the age of 13 (US), we will ask for their parent, legal guardian, or teacher's email address before we collect any personal data from a child under such an age. The same is valid if child's consent is necessary and the child cannot provide valid consent under the GDPR. If you think that your child is involved in an activity that collects personal information and you or another parent or legal guardian has not received a request for consent to collect such information, please contact us using the contact information at the top of this page.
