Overview

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on May 25th, 2018. Noncompliance can result in significantly higher fines than have been issued before under the DPA with an upper limit of 20 million euros or 4% or annual global turnover, whichever is higher. Under the GDPR, children under 16 merit specific protection, which includes adopting measures to verify a child's age and managing consent.

Age of Consent

The GDPR has set the age of consent at 16, so users 15 years and younger need parent consent where applicable. However, member states can choose a younger age down to 13.

Developers will need to prove that where they gain consent is valid, that it is informed and granular and that they have methods in place to allow parents to exercise their rights in relation to children. This may require parent dashboards or a parent portal to allow for the management of consent and revocation.
