View original clause language

Parents and guardians of children under 13 may review the personal information collected from their child, request that we delete it, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of their child's information. To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@khanacademy.org.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly reflects COPPA requirements (16 C.F.R. §312.6), which mandate that operators provide parents with the right to review, delete, and refuse further collection of their child's personal information. GDPR Article 8 and member state implementations provide similar rights for EU child users. (2)
