Youth privacy & safeguarding.
Last reviewed: November 2, 2026.
Current service
The youth section currently provides public resources. Youth registration, private intake, messaging, uploads and personalized opportunity matching are not open. The member route denies access to all users. We do not collect youth names, dates of birth, photos, school details or guardian contacts through a youth form.
The hosting provider may process ordinary technical request data. This page does not add advertising pixels, behavioral profiling or a youth tracking cookie.
Before registration opens
Participation is intended for verified ages 13–17. It requires an operational age-assurance method, guardian identity and authority checks, consent, a retention/deletion policy, and a documented review of the participant’s jurisdiction. Email ownership alone does not establish guardianship. Self-reported age alone does not establish age.
Any future youth information must be private by default, limited to its purpose and isolated from commercial mailing lists. No sale of youth data, public contact lists, location tracking, facial recognition, adult-to-youth direct messages or public youth directory will be introduced through this section.
Applicable rules need a location review
Age 13 is not a universal permission to collect or use children’s data. The United States COPPA framework addresses covered services and children under 13; other child privacy rules and local requirements may protect older teenagers. The UK Children’s Code addresses services likely to be accessed by children. Availability of this information page worldwide does not mean member enrollment has been legally cleared worldwide.
