4. Children, Parent Accounts and Parental Rights

Splobe does not permit persons under 18 to independently register, create standalone accounts or maintain independent login credentials.

Where supported, a minor may participate through a parent-managed Child Profile created and controlled through an adult Parent Account.

The parent or legal guardian is responsible for:

• Providing required consent or authorization;
• Providing accurate information about the child;
• Managing the child's profile;
• Supervising the child's participation; and
• Reviewing appropriate privacy and profile settings.

Child Profiles are designed to have additional safeguards. Depending on the Service and applicable law, these may include restrictions on public discovery, communications, precise location information and other features.

Where permitted by applicable law, Splobe may allow a coach, club, training center, team or other authorized adult or organization to create a profile for a minor. The person or organization creating the profile is responsible for obtaining the necessary permission or consent.

Splobe may request evidence of consent or authorization where reasonably necessary, including in response to a privacy complaint, parental request, safety concern, dispute or legal or regulatory requirement.

Parent and Guardian Requests

Subject to applicable law, a parent or legal guardian may request:

• Access to information relating to the child;
• Correction of inaccurate information;
• Restriction of processing;
• Withdrawal of consent;
• Removal of particular information;
• Deactivation of the child's profile; or
• Deletion of the child's profile and associated personal information.

We may take reasonable steps to verify the identity and authority of the person making such a request.

Certain information may need to be retained where required or permitted by law, including for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution or protection of users.

5. Photos and Videos Involving Minors

Sports activities may naturally include photographs or videos of minors.

Users may upload legitimate sports-related photographs or videos where they have the necessary rights, permissions, authorization or other lawful basis required by applicable law.

Users must not upload photographs or videos of minors that:

• Are sexual, exploitative, abusive or inappropriate;
• Are intended to bully, threaten, embarrass or harm the minor;
• Reveal unnecessary sensitive personal information;
• Reveal a minor's precise location in a manner creating a safety risk;
• Misrepresent the minor or circumstances in which the content was created;

Splobe may remove or restrict content where we reasonably believe it creates a safety, privacy, exploitation, abuse or legal concern.

Splobe does not intentionally publicly display a user's precise GPS coordinates or residential street address through a player profile.
