What it is

A teen user can request removal of a connected parent or guardian's access by using the dropdown in the Parental Insights tab; the parent or guardian receives an email notification and must confirm approval of the removal request.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes that a minor user can initiate disconnection of parental oversight access, subject to parent confirmation via email. The confirmation requirement means a parent receives notice before access is terminated, but the initiation of revocation remains with the teen, which may be relevant to regulatory and institutional assessments of the robustness of the parental oversight mechanism.

Interpretive note: The document does not specify the outcome if the parent does not respond to the confirmation email, leaving this procedural step partially ambiguous.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this clause, a teen user can request to remove a parent or guardian's access to their activity reports at any time through the app; the parent receives an email notification about the request and must confirm approval before access is fully removed. This means the parent has an opportunity to become aware of the revocation request before it takes effect.
