COPPA stands for The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, enacted in 1998 to protect the information of children, specifically those under 13 years of age. The primary focus of the COPPA act is to put parents in control of the information to which their children have access. Our website and app do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect, store, maintain, or use personally identifiable information from children under age 13. If you are under 13, you should never provide us with any personal information, nor should you use our website and our services.
8.2. Privacy Notice Disclosure For Parents Regarding Services Usage By Kids Under 13
We support the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other frameworks like the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). Our goal is to minimize the information gathered from and disseminated about children while permitting their active participation in the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice for which we are known.
In order for your child to use the 9Proxy website and services, they will require your permission. We will also need the parent’s email for consent.
