Children’s Data and Special Categories
Madam Kwans Health Guide is dedicated to the lawful and ethical management of children’s data and special categories of sensitive information, including health-related details. The website is not intentionally targeted toward children under thirteen years of age, and any personal data inadvertently collected from minors is handled with heightened sensitivity and prompt remedial action, including deletion upon identification. Should we recognize that personal information has been provided by or regarding a child without appropriate parental consent, swift measures will be taken to secure or erase such data and inform guardians if necessary. Explicit consent from parental or legal guardians is always sought before processing any child’s data. Regarding special categories of data, such as health or medical information, additional layers of protections are implemented, including explicit opt-in consent mechanisms and secure data storage. Processing of special categories of data is strictly limited to what is essential for providing our health-related content or responding to individual inquiries. All such data is protected by enhanced security protocols and is never disclosed to unauthorized parties. Access to sensitive or children’s data is constrained to professionals or personnel with legitimate and verified need, and audit trails are maintained to document access and processing. In cases where special categories of data are processed for research or aggregate analytics, information is fully anonymized to prevent identification. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor children’s activity online and to contact us immediately if they have any concerns regarding the data processed via our website. Our policies regarding children and sensitive data are regularly reviewed to ensure continued compliance and best practice standards. Any modifications to these practices are communicated via prominent notices on our platform. Inquiries regarding children’s data or special category data handling can be directed to [email protected]. Our steadfast responsibility is to protect the privacy and welfare of all users, especially those in vulnerable categories.
