### Our commitment to children's privacy | ||
|
||
We follow [The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”)](https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule), which requires online service providers to obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13 years of age. This applies to every user of our platform, regardless of different consent laws in different countries. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13 years of age, we will immediately delete that information from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 and believe that they have disclosed personal information to us, please contact us at [contact@revolt.chat](mailto:contact@revolt.chat). | ||
We abide by [the children's consent guidelines as laid out by the GDPR](https://gdpr-info.eu/art-8-gdpr/) and [The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”)](https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule), which requires online service providers to obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 16 and 13 years of age respectively, and in the case of the GDPR, may vary depending on the EU member state. |

I think it would be better to just use your real name

I suggest replacing the email address to dpo@revolt.chat (Data Protection Officer) for simplicity.
