Nativis Projex – COPPA Compliance Policy

1. Introduction

Nativis Projex (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of children and complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information from children under 18. We take these measures to ensure a safe and secure environment for all users, especially our younger audience.

2. Age Restriction and Verification

Nativis Projex requires all users to be at least 18 years of age to create an account and use our services. We ask for the user’s age during the sign-up process, but this information will not be displayed on their profile. This measure is in place to protect minors and ensure that our platform is used responsibly by adults.

If we suspect a user is under the age of 18, we will take additional steps to verify their age:

1. We may request a copy of their government-issued ID, or
2. We will seek consent from their parent or guardian, which must be provided via the parent’s or guardian’s email address.

These verification steps are crucial in maintaining the integrity of our age restriction policy and protecting minors from potential risks associated with online platforms.

Users who cannot verify their age or obtain parental consent will not be permitted to use the platform. This strict policy helps us maintain a safe environment for all users and comply with legal requirements.

3. Information Collection and Consent

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 18 unless it is submitted through a verifiable parental consent process. This approach ensures that we respect the privacy of minors and comply with COPPA regulations.

4. Parental Consent

For users under 18, we require verifiable parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing any personal information. We will obtain consent through one of the following methods:

• Email Plus Method
• Credit Card Verification
• Knowledge-Based Authentication

These methods are designed to ensure that parents or guardians are aware of and approve their child’s activities on our platform.

5. Safety Measures for Minors

To further protect younger users, we have implemented the following safety measures:

• Default Privacy Settings: If we discover an account belonging to a user under 18, we will automatically set their account to “Private” to ensure their content is only visible to approved followers.
• Content Restrictions: We limit the ability of users under 18 to view sensitive content.
• Direct Message Restrictions: Users under 18 cannot receive direct messages from accounts they don’t follow.
• Search Restrictions: Accounts of users under 18 do not appear in search results.

These measures are in place to create a safer online environment and reduce potential risks for younger users.

6. Parental Rights

We respect the rights of parents and guardians to oversee their children’s online activities. Parents have the right to:

• Review their child’s personal information
• Request to have their child’s information deleted from our records
• Refuse to allow further collection or use of their child’s information

To exercise these rights, please contact us at childsafety@nativisprojex.com.
