V. Children’s Privacy

The Squads.win may contain content appropriate for children under the age of 13. As a parent, you should know that through the Squads.win, children under the age of 13 may participate in activities that involve the collection or use of personal information. We do not intentionally collect personal information from children, and we use reasonable efforts to ensure that before we collect any personal information from a child, we collect parental consent by sending an email to explain our personal information practices in accordance to U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).

We also may limit how we collect, use, and store some of the information of users between the age of 13 and 18. In some cases, this means we will be unable to provide certain functionality of the Squads.win to these users.

Squads LLC may collect and store the following types of personal information about a child when submitted by a child with prior parental consent or by the parent or guardian of the child:

  • First and/or last name
  • Date of birth
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Parent’s or guardian’s name
  • Parent’s or guardian’s email address

We may ask a user to provide age-related information to comply with COPPA before collecting any personal information. This method helps us to determine whether COPPA requirements must be applied and allows us to obtain a verifiable parental consent from your parent or legal guardian before allowing you to access the Service. If the user is under the age of 13, which qualifies as COPPA minor, the Squads.win will redirect that user and require for completion of the parental consent verification and authorization process before continuing to access the Service.

Once a parent provides their consent and completes the verification and authorization process, we will provide them an opportunity to review and change account settings which helps them to control the interaction of their child with Squads.win. Parents may change or revoke their previous choices and request a deletion of an information at any time by submitting his/her request using one of the methods in “Contact Us” section below.

For further details on the information we might collect, you can refer to the “What Type of Information Do We Collect?” section of this Privacy Policy. We follow our standard Privacy Policy for the disclosure of personal information collected from and about children.
