Privacy Policy

Key Requirements for Services for Children

1. Verifiable Parental Consent
   Prior to collecting any personal information from children in the custody of Oklahoma Department of Human Services Child Welfare, obtaining verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian is mandatory. This ensures compliance with regulations and safeguards the child's privacy rights.

2. Detailed Privacy Notice
   The privacy policy must be transparent and comprehensive, clearly outlining what types of information are collected from children, the purpose of collection, and the parties with whom the information may be shared. Transparency fosters trust and accountability.

3. Parental Control
   Parents must be empowered with the ability to access their child’s personal information. They should have the authority to review, correct, or request any information obtained of their children.

4. Limited Data Collection
   Information gathered should be strictly limited to what is reasonably necessary for specific activities—such as contests, games, or educational services. Minimizing data collection reduces privacy risks and aligns with the principle of data minimization.

5. Age-Appropriate Language
   Privacy policies and notices must be communicated in language that is clear, straightforward, and suitable for children. This approach ensures children understand the information being presented, promoting informed engagement.

6. Security Measures
   Robust procedures must be implemented to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal information collected from children. This includes technical safeguards and organizational policies designed to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

By adhering to these core requirements, services tailored for children can provide a safer and more trustworthy environment that respects and protects the children’s privacy.
