Children's age threshold
Under the DPDP Act, a "child" means an individual who has not completed 18 years of age. Processing a child's personal data generally requires verifiable parental/lawful-guardian consent, and the Act restricts tracking/behavioural monitoring and targeted advertising directed at children.
Therefore, the we shall decide whether it:
- prohibits purchases/accounts by persons under 18;
- permits purchases but requires an adult purchaser;
- collects age information;
- has any possibility of children's data being collected through contact forms/newsletters;
- uses behavioural analytics or targeted advertising.
For a spiritual-products purchases are intended for adults only but if any minors purchase then he/she can purchase only under appropriate parental/guardian involvement, while ensuring the actual data-processing practices match that wording.
