Before handling a child’s information
An Organization must establish lawful authority and appropriate guardian consent before collecting or using a child’s information. A membership, administrator-created Person, Account Terms acceptance or a profile relationship label is not guardian consent. Do not infer guardianship from a name, email or age estimate.
What a specific grant must explain
A grant must identify the child, verified guardian, responsible Organization, purpose and necessary data categories. Community records can include contact/profile information, membership, attendance, activity, reservation details and photos, potentially revealing sensitive religious participation. Photos, public sharing and additional purposes require their own appropriate scope; no blanket permission is implied by this notice.
Evidence and safeguards
Soteria can retain a historical record of a specific grant, its notice version, locale, source, recorder and evidence reference, including a guardian Account where one exists. The foundation does not automatically verify legal guardianship or reliably determine age from optional scoped birth dates. Organizations must verify authority separately and restrict access and collection. Children do not become Account holders because an administrator creates their records.
Withdrawal and requests
Contact the responsible Organization and [email protected] to withdraw a specific consent, correct information, request access/deletion where applicable or raise concerns. State the child, Organization and purpose without sending unnecessary sensitive documents. Withdrawal is recorded without erasing the evidence of the earlier grant and requires review of affected processing. It does not retrospectively undo lawful processing or instantly erase recovery copies.
