8. Children and Minors
Protecting younger users is important to Footy Status.
Footy Status may include players who are minors. Certain functionality may therefore depend on age and parent or guardian involvement.

For younger accounts, Footy Status may limit features, visibility, communication, notifications, or other functionality where appropriate.
We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary to provide the applicable Services.
Footy Status does not knowingly sell children's personal information or knowingly use children's personal information for targeted advertising.
A parent or legal guardian who believes their child has provided personal information improperly, or who wants to exercise applicable rights concerning a child's information, may contact:
