• The child's data is managed entirely through the parent's account
• The parent may review, modify, or delete the child's data at any time

Users aged 13–17 may create an account with parental consent or be added to a family household. A parent or guardian remains responsible for the minor's use of the Service.

Parents and guardians may at any time:

• Review their child's personal information
• Request deletion of their child's information
• Refuse further collection of their child's information
• Remove their child from a household
