Introduction

In the spirit of safeguarding the privacy and well-being of minors, Hypcccycl Inc (“we”, “our”, or “us”) adheres to a strict compliance framework underlined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This section of our policy delineates the measures we employ concerning the gathering, utilization, and dissemination of personal details from children below 13 years of age, and from teenagers aged 13 to 18 who have procured parental consent, while engaging with our website or availing our services. This COPPA policy is to be interpreted and agreed upon in conjunction with our overarching Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Cookie Policy which collectively dictate the terms of engagement and data handling practices at Hypcccycl Inc.

Access Restrictions

Our website and services are not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Any use of our website and services by children under 13 is strictly prohibited.

For teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18, parental consent is required to use our services. We have implemented a thorough age and parental consent verification process to ensure compliance.

Age Verification Process

At Hypcccycl Inc., ensuring the safety and appropriate use of our platform by minors is a priority. In adherence to this commitment, we have instituted a rigorous Age Verification Process to ascertain the age of our users during the registration phase. Our objective is to deny access to individuals below 13 years of age and secure parental consent for users aged 13 to 18. Here’s how our age verification process works:

1. Information Collection – During the registration, users will be asked to input their birth date. Additionally, a prompt will appear for users aged 13 to 18, requesting parental consent.
2. Document Submission – Users suspected to be below the age of 18 based on the provided information may be required to submit a government-issued identification document to validate their age. The document should display a photograph and date of birth. Alternatively, users may be asked to provide contact information of a parent or guardian.
3. Parental Consent – For users aged 13 to 18, a Parental Consent Form will be sent to the provided parent or guardian email address. This form must be completed and submitted to grant permission for the minor to use our platform. Parental consent verification may also involve a phone call to the parent or guardian for confirmation.
4. Access Restriction – Accounts will remain inactive until the age verification and, if applicable, parental consent processes are completed satisfactorily. Any attempt to falsify age information or bypass the age verification process will result in immediate account termination.
5. Periodic Review – Our system may conduct periodic reviews to ensure that our age restrictions are maintained. This may involve requesting additional documentation or re-verification of parental consent.
6. Support and Assistance – Our support team is available to assist with the age verification process, ensuring a straightforward experience for our users and their parents or guardians.

Parental Consent Verification Process

For users between the ages of 13 and 18, we have established a parental consent verification process. This process requires the provision of verifiable parental consent before these users can access our services. Parents or guardians will need to fill out a consent form, providing verifiable identification, and acknowledging their approval for their child to use our services.
