Hard Skill Exchange ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of children. This COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) Policy explains our practices concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information from children under 13 years of age.

1. Age Restriction

Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use our services or provide any personal information to us.

2. Parental Rights

Parents and legal guardians have the right to:

  • Review the personal information we have collected from their child
  • Request that we delete any personal information collected from their child
  • Refuse to allow any further collection or use of their child's information
  • Agree to the collection and use of their child's information without agreeing to disclosure to third parties

3. Information Collection

If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our servers.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not share personal information collected from children under 13 with third parties, except as required by law or as necessary to protect the safety of a child.

If we ever decide to collect personal information from children under 13, we will:

We maintain reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of any personal information we collect from children, including limiting access to such information to those employees who need it to perform their job duties.
