Parental Consent

Article 8 of the GDPR lists specific conditions with regard to the collection and processing of personal information of children. It mandates that in order to process information for any child under the age of 16, organizations are required to gain consent from individuals that hold the parental responsibilities of the child. The individual that holds the parental responsibilities of the child can also specify the extent to which the processing of said information can be carried out. There are however exceptions to this rule—parental consent is exempt in the cases of counselling or preventive services.
