Terms Privacy Disclaimer Minors & Parents Billing Accessibility

Candor is built for high‑school students, and we know many of our users are minors. This page explains how we treat younger users’ data and what parents and guardians should know.

Minimum age

You must be at least 13 years old to create a Candor account. Candor is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that a user is under 13, we will delete the account and associated data.

If you are between 13 and 17

You should use Candor with a parent or guardian’s knowledge and permission. We ask only for the academic information needed to estimate admissions chances. Please do not enter sensitive details Candor does not ask for, and do not share your password.

For parents and guardians

You may review your child’s information, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your child’s account and data at any time by emailing jasperthelazzer19@gmail.com from an address we can verify. We will act on verified requests promptly. Subscriptions are intended to be set up by a parent or with parental permission; you can cancel anytime (see Billing).

COPPA

The U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) governs collection of personal information from children under 13. Candor’s 13+ age floor is designed to keep Candor outside COPPA’s under‑13 scope. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13, and we do not target the under‑13 audience.

FLAG — product decision needed (highest‑risk item).

Because much of the audience is minors, Jasper must choose an enforcement approach. Drafted options, easiest → strongest:

Self‑attestation age gate (currently wired at signup): a required “I am 13 or older” checkbox + consent to Terms/Privacy. Low friction; the common baseline for teen‑facing US sites that avoid under‑13 data.
Date‑of‑birth gate: collect birth year and block under‑13; lets you flag under‑18 accounts for lighter data handling.
Parental‑consent flow for under‑18: capture a parent email and consent before a minor’s data is processed or before checkout. Strongest, highest friction; consider it if you ever knowingly serve under‑13 or expand sensitive data collection.

An attorney should confirm which level is required given the exact data collected and states/countries served. The newer state “age‑appropriate design” / kids‑privacy laws (e.g., CA AADC, and several 2024–2026 state laws) are evolving and are a real risk area for a teen product.
