Children's Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 1, 2025 | Last Updated: August 15, 2025

Aevum News (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is deeply committed to protecting the privacy and safety of children. This Children’s Privacy Policy explains how we handle information for minors under the age of 13 in full compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Children’s Provisions, and other applicable international privacy frameworks.

1. Age Restriction & Intended Audience

Our website, mobile applications, digital newsletters, and related services are designed for general audiences and are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from minors, and no part of our platform is structured to attract users under that age.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Except where explicitly required by law or necessary for core platform functionality, Aevum News does not intentionally collect, store, or process personal data from children under 13. This includes:

If we become aware that personal information has been voluntarily submitted by a child under 13, we will promptly delete such data, terminate any associated access, and remove it from our servers within 7 business days.

3. Third-Party Services & Advertising

We may engage third-party advertising networks and analytics providers who utilize cookies and similar tracking technologies to deliver relevant content. These partners are contractually bound to COPPA compliance and are prohibited from using platform data to profile, contact, or market to children under 13.

Parents and guardians who wish to opt out of personalized advertising may visit the Network Advertising Initiative (opt out page) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (opt out page) to adjust preferences across participating platforms.

4. Parental Rights & Verifiable Consent

In accordance with COPPA, we do not require parental consent for registration or general use of our platform. However, should Aevum News ever introduce age-differentiated features, educational modules, or interactive content for minors in the future, we will:

  1. Obtain verifiable parental consent prior to any data collection
  2. Provide clear, plain-language notice of data practices
  3. Grant parents the right to review, correct, delete, or prohibit further use of their child’s information
  4. Retain data only as long as necessary for the stated purpose

5. Content Safety & Moderation Standards

While our platform serves adult readers, we maintain rigorous content moderation systems to ensure all published material aligns with safety guidelines and avoids harmful, explicit, or age-inappropriate content. We utilize a combination of automated filtering, AI-assisted classification, and human editorial review to uphold these standards consistently.

6. Contact for Parents & Guardians

If you believe your child has provided personal information through our platform, or if you have questions, concerns, or verification requests regarding this policy, please contact our Privacy Compliance Team:

📧 Email: privacy@aevumnews.com

📬 Mailing Address: Aevum News Privacy Office, 1200 Journalism Blvd, Suite 400, New York, NY 10013

We acknowledge and respond to all verified parental requests within 30 business days.

7. Policy Updates & Modifications

We may update this Children’s Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in law, platform architecture, data practices, or corporate structure. The revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date and will govern all information collected thereafter. We encourage parents and guardians to review this policy regularly.
