Collection of Information from Children – Additional Privacy Policy Terms
SUMMARY
These Additional Privacy Policy Terms augments the Privacy Policy of the TeamSeas website located at www.teamseas.com (the “Website”), and which is owned and operated by MrBeastYouTube, LLC. Although we specifically require that anyone using our Website who is not of the required age to act on their own behalf in their jurisdiction/country (“children” or “child”) first receive parental consent, we understand that children may still access the Website and provide us with information. As such, our Privacy Policy acknowledges that we may collect information from children. Below we detail potential instances in which we might collect personal information from a child, and summarize how and when we will provide parental/guardian notice and/or seek parental/guardian consent (hereinafter, “parent” or “guardian” referred to as “parent”). In any instance that we collect personal information from a child, we will collect only that information necessary and reasonable under the circumstances, and retain that information only so long as reasonably necessary or as otherwise required by law. In the event we discover we have collected information from a child in a manner inconsistent with the United State Children Online Privacy Protection Act/your country/jurisdiction requirements, we will either delete the information or promptly seek the parent’s consent for such collection. Please note that these Additional Privacy Policy Terms applies only to our online information-gathering and dissemination practices in regard to children, and does not apply to any of our practices conducted offline or to our practices in regard to individuals of legal age of consent. The notifications provided by these Additional Privacy Policy Terms include:
- The types of information we collect from children and how it is used
- How we will verify parental consent, and they types of consent that we will seek
- A list of all operators colleting personal information, and how they may be contacted
- How we may share information
The Information We Collect From Children, and How We Use It
Children may freely visit our Website without being required to provide us with any personal information. However, certain requests and features do require that they provide us with some personally identifying information (such as name, address, and email), as more particularly described in our privacy policy, located HERE. Personal information is data that can be used to identify or contact a child. We strongly advise children never to provide any personal information in their usernames. We will not require a child to provide more information than is reasonably necessary.
How We Will Verify Parental Consent; How We Will Communicate with Parents
In any instance where we determine that we collected information from a child, we will verify parental consent via email address or other means before we collect any personal information from the child, as further described below. If you believe your child is participating in an activity that collects personal information and you as the parent have not received an email providing notice or seeking your consent, please feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We will not use parent emails provided for parental consent purposes to market to the parent, unless the parent has expressly opted in to email marketing or has separately participated in an activity with us that allows for such email contact.
Regular Consent: In the event we knowingly (or reasonably suspect) collect personal information from a child in conjunction with activities on our Website, we will first seek a parent’s consent by email. In the email we will explain what information we are collecting, how we plan to use it, how the parent can provide consent, and how the parent can revoke consent. If we do not receive parental consent within a reasonable time, we will delete the parent contact information and any other information collected from the child in connection with original request/activity. After providing parental consent, a parent may at anytime rescind such consent by contacting us at [email protected] and we will use best efforts to promptly respond to such rescission.
Higher-Level, Verifiable Consent. In the event that we collect personal information from a child that will be posted publicly, we will seek a higher level of verifiable consent than email consent. Such “higher-level” methods of consent include but are not limited to asking for a credit card or other payment method for verification (with a nominal charge involved) or requiring a signed consent form by mail, email attachment, or fax. After providing higher-level consent, a parent may at anytime rescind such consent by contacting us at [email protected] and we will use best efforts to promptly respond to such request.
Non-Personal Information We Collect by Automated Means And How We Use It:
We also collect certain non-personal information (data in a form that does not support direct association with any specific child) by automated means when they visit the Website. If children visit the Website, please note that we will collect and share such non-personal information as further described in our Privacy Policy, which can be found HERE.
The summary of third-party operators who collect non-personal information on our Website or via our Platform may be found HERE.
If you have questions about these third-party operators, please contact us at [email protected].
When Information Collected From Children Is Shared
In addition to those instances where a child’s personal information is posted publicly (after receiving higher-level parental consent as further discussed herein), we also may share or disclose personal information collected from children in a limited number of instances, as summarized HERE.
Parental Choices and Controls
At any time, parents can request to review the personal information that we have collected from their children. Parents can also request that we stop collecting further personal information from their children in association with their involvement in a particular campaign, and can request that we delete from our records the personal information we have collected in connection with such campaign or in conjunction with their other online activities on our Platform or Website. Additionally, parents can also request that we do not share the personal information we collect from their children with third parties unless it is necessary to provide the services or to fulfill a request. If you are a parent and you want to make any of the aforementioned requests, please email us at [email protected], and we will use best efforts to promptly respond to such requests. Please keep in mind that a request to delete records may lead to an inability for a child to participate in a campaign.
