To answer this question, please select “yes” if you knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If you do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age 18 through your website or application, please select “no” to this question. 


You are knowingly collecting personal information from children if you are aware of the age of a person and still allow them to proceed to your website or application and submit their personal information (e.g. their name and email address) even if they are under 18. Websites or applications that have age screeners (e.g. asking for a person’s birth date) and allowing children under 18 to proceed, would knowingly be collecting personal information from children. To select “yes” here, you would need to know that they are under 18. If you do not know the person’s age, then you are not knowingly collecting personal information from children. 


Websites or applications that are directed to children should also select “yes” to this question. While the determination of whether a website or an application is directed to children is made on a case by case basis, the following factors can be used to make that determination: 

  • The subject matter - the subject matter of the website or application is directed towards matters that children would be interested in (e.g. how to ace your first grade reading test); 

  • Visual content - the visual content of the website or application would appeal towards children (e.g. animations showing popular children’s characters); 

  • The use of animated characters or child-oriented activities and incentives; 

  • Music or other audio content - the website or application features music or audio content that would be of particular interest to children;

  • Age of models; 

  • Presence of child celebrities or celebrities who appeal to children; 

  • Whether advertising on the website or application is directed to children. 


Please note that if you select “yes” to this question, Termageddon will not be able to generate your policies as the Termageddon Privacy Policy generator does not cover children’s privacy laws.
