At Twin Science, we take the privacy and protection of children’s personal data  seriously. We adhere to the requirements outlined by the Children’s Online Privacy  Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and the General Data Protection  Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union when collecting and processing children’s  personal data online. 

To ensure compliance with COPPA, we obtain verifiable parental consent before  collecting personally identifiable data from children under the age of 13. Similarly, under  GDPR, parental consent is required for children under the age of 16 in the European  Union or the United Kingdom. 

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13  (for the United States) or under the age of 16 (for the European Union or the United  Kingdom) without parental consent. 

In our services, we offer “challenges” where children have the option to upload photos  or videos. By creating an account for their child, parents or guardians implicitly grant  permission for Twin Science to collect and process the child’s personal data, including  uploaded photos or videos. We limit the collection of personal data from children to what  is reasonably necessary for the use of our services.

If you believe that a child has provided excessive personal data without parental  consent, please contact us at [email protected]. We will promptly address the  issue and take appropriate action. 

  1. SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA AND CHILDREN’S PERSONAL DATA 

At Twin Science, we take the security of your Personal Data seriously. We have  implemented various measures to protect your information and maintain its  confidentiality. However, despite our efforts, we must acknowledge that it is not possible  to provide complete assurance against all potential risks. 

Your Personal Data is protected with a password for your privacy and protection. It is  your responsibility to choose a strong password, safeguard it, and restrict access to  your computer and browser by logging out after each session. We recommend using a  combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to create a secure password. 

While we strive to maintain the security of your information, external factors such as  unauthorized access or hardware/software errors can pose a threat to data security at  any time. We cannot guarantee the security of your information under all circumstances. 

Furthermore, our website may contain links to other websites whose privacy practices  we are not responsible for. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these  external sites when you visit them to understand how they collect, use, and protect your  information.
