If you do so, we will process your child’s data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Ludus may collect and store personal information about children if this information is submitted by a child with prior parental consent or by the parent or guardian of the child. If a service is directed to children under COPPA (https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule), Ludus may ask users to verify their dates of birth before collecting any personal information from them. Those users that indicate they are children are either blocked from the activity or taken through a parental consent process.
