This provision establishes COPPA-related commitments regarding data collected from children under 13 and a California-specific minor content removal right under California Business and Professions Code Section 22581, while noting that removal may not be comprehensive due to third-party republication.
The updated policy now provides explicit disclosure of which categories of personal information are collected and which parties receive each category. Previously, the policy required readers to consult other sections to identify this information. The updated table format discloses that identifiers such as name and email address, visual information including uploaded images, and geolocation data may be shared with other users, vendors, service providers, login integration partners, social media widgets, and affiliates. This change provides clearer visibility into data sharing practices without altering what data is collected or shared, but rather how that information is disclosed.
View change record →The updated policy no longer provides a single consolidated view of which specific categories of recipients receive which types of personal data. Previously, users could see in one table that identifiers, commercial information, geolocation data, images, account credentials, and precise location were shared with specific recipient categories such as vendors, service providers, other users, login partners, social media widgets, and tracking technology providers. The revised policy instead directs users to review other sections of the document to find this information. The specificity and accessibility of this disclosure has been reduced, though the underlying data-sharing practices may remain unchanged.
View change record →Under this provision, users under 13 are not intended to use the Services, and Ideogram commits to making commercially reasonable efforts to delete data collected from children under 13 if identified. California residents under 18 may request removal of User Input they posted, though the policy states removal may not be complete due to third-party archiving and republication.
