Children's Privacy Policy

📅 Last Updated: November 15, 2025 📜 Effective Date: November 15, 2025 ⚖️ Applies to: All Users & Guardians

1. Age Requirements & Eligibility

LoveLink is a dating and relationship platform designed exclusively for adults. Our services are strictly intended for individuals who are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher). We do not market to, solicit information from, or knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18.

By creating an account, using our platform, or providing information to LoveLink, you represent and warrant that you meet the minimum age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into our Terms of Service. Minors attempting to register will be automatically filtered out by our verification systems, and any incomplete registrations will be permanently deleted.

2. COPPA & International Compliance

We are fully committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding children's data, and all applicable international youth privacy regulations.

⚠️ Important Notice: LoveLink does not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our servers and databases.

Our platform incorporates age verification mechanisms at registration, including government ID validation and third-party age assurance services, to prevent underage access. Despite these measures, if you are a parent or legal guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to LoveLink without consent, please contact us immediately using the details provided in Section 6.

3. Data Collection & Marketing Practices

LoveLink does not:

  • Collect personal information from users under 18
  • Use tracking technologies, cookies, or analytics tools to target minors
  • Share, sell, or license any user data to third parties for marketing purposes
  • Display advertisements or content inappropriate for minors
  • Allow minors to participate in dating, messaging, or matching features

Our content, features, and community guidelines are explicitly designed for mature audiences. We employ automated moderation and AI-driven filtering to detect and block underage accounts, suspicious behavior, and inappropriate interactions.

4. Parental & Guardian Rights

If you are a parent or legal guardian and suspect that a minor has accessed LoveLink or provided personal information, you have the right to:

  1. Review any information we may have collected (if applicable)
  2. Delete the minor's account and all associated data permanently
  3. Opt-out of any future data processing related to the child
  4. Request verification that deletion has been completed

To exercise these rights, you must submit a verified request demonstrating legal guardianship. We will respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days, as required by applicable privacy laws.

5. Data Removal & Verification Process

If you report a minor's account or data collection, LoveLink will:

  • Suspend the account immediately pending verification
  • Confirm the age of the account holder using available verification records
  • Permanently erase all personal data, messages, photos, and match history if the account is confirmed to belong to a minor
  • Update our internal systems to prevent re-registration using the same identifiers
  • Notify the requesting guardian upon completion of the deletion process

All deleted data is removed from active servers within 24 hours and purged from backup systems within 30 days, in accordance with our data retention policy and legal obligations.
