312.4(d) — Online notice of children's information practices

high privacy-noticechildren

Requirement

The operator posts a prominent, clearly labelled link to an online notice of its information practices with regard to children on its home page and at each area where children's personal information is collected, describing what is collected, how it is used and disclosed (including the identities or categories of third-party recipients and purposes), the data retention policy, and parents' rights.

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.
