14. Children’s privacy

This website and my services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children.

I do not knowingly collect personal information from children where parental consent or another legal basis is required under applicable law. This includes, for example, children under 13 in the United States under COPPA, and children below the applicable digital-consent age in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. Under the GDPR, the default age for a child’s own consent for online services is 16, although EU member states may set a lower age, provided it is not below 13. ​If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to me without the required consent, please contact me at contact@astridmorwen.com. I will take appropriate steps to delete the information or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law. ​I do not knowingly use children’s personal information for marketing, profiling, or targeted advertising. If I later offer services that are directed to children or likely to be accessed by children, I will update this Privacy Policy and take any additional steps required by applicable children’s privacy laws.
