Children & Guardians

SL-03

Processing a child's personal data requires verifiable consent of a parent or lawful guardian. Self-declared age and a typed-in guardian name are not verification, and this is the obligation that carries a ₹200 crore ceiling.

38 children's data elements are in scope

The Act also prohibits tracking, behavioural monitoring and targeted advertising directed at children, and any processing likely to cause a detrimental effect on their well-being — obligations that are separate from consent and easy to breach through an analytics tag nobody reviewed.

Accepted verification mechanisms

The Rules contemplate appropriate technical and organisational measures to establish that the person giving consent is an identifiable adult who is the parent or lawful guardian — including reliance on identity details already reliably held, or a virtual token mapped to a verified identity issued by an entitled entity.
