Gardex Technologies is committed to protecting the privacy of children. This policy supplements our general Privacy Policy and explains our practices regarding information from children under 13, in compliance with COPPA.
GARD is a parental control service. Children's accounts are created and managed by parents or legal guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
Before enrolling a child under 13 in GARD, we obtain verifiable parental consent. Parents create the child's profile, approve all contacts, and maintain complete control over settings.
For children enrolled in GARD we collect: location data (for safety features), device usage information (for parental controls), and limited communication data to provide safe messaging. We collect only the minimum information necessary.
We do not serve behavioral advertising to children's devices. Advertising on child-designated devices is restricted to COPPA-compliant, contextual categories only. We do not track children for advertising purposes.
Parents may at any time: review their child's personal information; request correction or deletion; revoke consent and delete the child's account. Contact privacy@gardextechnology.com.
All children's data is protected by end-to-end encryption for messages and secure cloud storage.
