Parental Consent is a legal requirement that ensures a parent or guardian approves a child’s access to online services that collect personal information. This consent helps protect children's privacy and complies with various privacy laws, such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union.
When a child under the age of digital consent (typically under 13 or as defined by regional laws) creates an account or uses an online service, the service provider must obtain permission from a parent or guardian. This process involves verifying that the person giving consent is indeed an adult responsible for the child.
By providing Parental Consent, you allow your child to access and use specific features and services that would otherwise be restricted by law. This consent also allows you to manage and monitor your child's online activities through various parental controls.
In summary, Parental Consent ensures that you are aware of and approve your child's interaction with online services, helping to safeguard their privacy and online safety.
