[Consultation] Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Personal Information Collection, and Use Agreement Modification for Members Under 14 Years Old.

Law firm Veat provides forms modified regarding registration for members under the age of 14, personal information processing policy, collection of personal information, usage consent, etc.

A, which provides an educational platform, requested that members under the age of 14 be able to register as members and use the service by expanding the registration function. As a result, they requested modifications to the existing terms of use, personal information processing policy, collection and use of personal information, and usage consent.

In response, Law firm Veat provided guidance regarding personal information collected when registering members under the age of 14, including the minimum amount of information required to obtain consent from the child without the consent of a legal guardian, and guidance on receiving and verifying consent for the collection and use of a child’s personal information from a legal guardian, as well as modifications to the existing terms of use, personal information processing policy, collection and use of personal information, and usage consent.

The Personal Information Protection Committee, through a partial amendment to the Personal Information Protection Act, aimed to reorganize the existing consent-before-collection system by separately specifying matters related to the obligation to confirm consent from a legal guardian for a child of 14 years of age and the use of easy forms, thereby strengthening child personal information protection.

Law firm Veat is providing legal counsel tailored to each company’s service to align with strengthening regulations on personal information processing policies and terms of use. If you need legal advice regarding the drafting and revision of personal information processing policies and terms of use, please feel free to contact Law firm Veat at any time.

Thank you.
