The clause establishes procedural safeguards including information deletion protocols and a designated contact point for parental inquiries.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

For users under 13, this provision restricts collection of personal information absent parental consent, and establishes that parents or guardians may request deletion of any information collected without such consent by contacting the designated privacy email address.
