Policy
Child Safety and Age Participation Policy
Etuosity is built for learning contexts that may involve families and minors. Child safety and guardian oversight are core requirements for how this project is designed, measured, and run. Child-related participation must be age-appropriate, documented, and limited to the purpose explained to the family, school, or partner.
Core Principles
- Safety first in all child-involved activities.
- Parental or guardian involvement where required by law or policy.
- Data minimization and age-appropriate communication.
- No unnecessary collection of personal information from minors.
- Clear adult points of contact for any pilot, workshop, review, or family activity.
Participation Rules
- Children do not participate in pilots without guardian awareness and applicable consent.
- Any child-related participation is scoped, documented, and reviewed.
- We prioritize anonymized or aggregated reporting of pilot observations.
- We avoid direct private messaging with minors and route child-related communication through authorized adults whenever practical.
Regional Child Privacy Coverage
- United States: For children under 13, Etuosity follows COPPA-style requirements for parental notice, verifiable parental consent where required, limited collection, parental review, and deletion rights.
- European Union: For information society services offered directly to children, Etuosity follows GDPR Article 8 consent expectations and local member-state age rules where applicable.
- Singapore: Etuosity applies PDPA consent, notification, reasonable-purpose, protection, access, correction, and retention principles to child-related information.
- Taiwan: Etuosity handles child-related personal data under stated purposes, necessary scope, consent or other lawful grounds, security controls, and family or legal representative involvement where required.
- Philippines: Etuosity applies Data Privacy Act principles of transparency, legitimate purpose, proportionality, security, and data subject rights for child-related information.
Pilot Safeguards
Child-involved pilots should define the learning activity, data collected, adult contacts, retention period, reporting format, withdrawal process, and escalation path before participation begins. Etuosity favors aggregate observations over identifiable child records whenever that is enough to answer the learning question.
