Child Data Protection Statement

Last Updated on July 5, 2026

Welcome to Marketeq Digital Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Marketeq," "we," "us," or "our"). This Child Data Protection Statement (the "Statement") describes Marketeq's approach to the personal data of children and minors. Marketeq's services are directed at businesses and professional users and are not intended for children, and we take particular care to avoid the inappropriate collection or use of children's personal data. This Statement supplements our Privacy Policy and GDPR Compliance and Data Protection Statement and should be read together with them. If you have any questions about this Statement, you may contact us at legal@marketeqdigital.com.

1. Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this Statement is to explain how Marketeq approaches the protection of children's personal data. This Statement applies to any circumstances in which the personal data of a child or minor might be involved in connection with our services. Because our services are directed at businesses and professionals rather than children, we do not intentionally collect personal data from children. This Statement reflects our commitment to protecting the personal data of minors and to complying with applicable laws relating to children's data. It should be understood in the context of the professional nature of our services.

2. Services Not Directed at Children

Marketeq's website, digital products, and services are designed for and directed at businesses and adult professional users. We do not market our services to children, and our services are not intended to be used by individuals below the age of majority or the applicable minimum age in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly permit children to register for accounts or to use features that require the provision of personal data. Because of the professional nature of our services, we do not anticipate that children will be users. This Statement is intended to address the limited circumstances in which children's data might nonetheless be implicated.

3. No Knowing Collection of Children's Data

Marketeq does not knowingly collect personal data from children below the applicable age without appropriate consent. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without the necessary consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that data from our systems. We rely on users to provide accurate information about their age and eligibility when interacting with our services. We do not intentionally use our services to target or profile children. Our practices are designed to avoid the inadvertent collection of children's personal data.

4. Parental and Guardian Rights

Where applicable law provides parents or guardians with rights in relation to their child's personal data, Marketeq will respect and facilitate those rights. A parent or guardian who believes that their child has provided personal data to us may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of that data. We will respond to such requests in accordance with applicable law and after taking reasonable steps to verify the identity and authority of the person making the request. We handle requests relating to children's data with particular care. We encourage parents and guardians to supervise their children's online activities.

5. Verification of Consent

Where processing that involves a child's personal data requires parental consent under applicable law, Marketeq takes reasonable steps to obtain and verify that consent before proceeding. The verification measures we apply are proportionate to the nature of the processing and the sensitivity of the data. We do not knowingly rely on consent purportedly given by a child where parental consent is required. Where we are unable to obtain or verify the necessary consent, we will not carry out the associated processing. These measures are intended to ensure that children's data is not processed without appropriate authorization.

6. Security of Children's Data

In the limited circumstances where children's personal data may be processed, Marketeq applies appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect it. Such data is subject to the safeguards described in our Data Encryption and Security Policy, with heightened care given to its sensitivity. Access to any children's data is limited to those with a legitimate need. We treat the protection of children's data as a priority. Our security measures are designed to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to or misuse of such data.

7. Reporting Concerns

If you believe that a child has provided personal data to Marketeq, or if you have concerns about the handling of a child's personal data, we encourage you to contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action. We take such concerns seriously and will respond in a timely manner. Where we identify that children's data has been collected without appropriate consent, we will act to address the matter, including by deleting the data where required. Prompt reporting helps us to protect the personal data of minors effectively.

8. Changes to This Statement

Marketeq reserves the right to modify or update this Child Data Protection Statement at any time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will become effective upon posting the revised Statement, and we encourage you to review it periodically. Where changes are material, we will endeavor to provide additional notice through appropriate means.

9. Contact Information
