1798.120(c)-(d) — Opt-in consent to sell or share minors' information
Requirement
A business with actual knowledge that a consumer is under 16 may not sell or share their personal information unless the consumer (aged 13–15) or a parent or guardian (under 13) has affirmatively authorised it; wilfully disregarding age counts as actual knowledge.
What the engine looks for
Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.
