Children and Personal Data</h2> <p>Apple understands the importance of safeguarding the personal data of children, which we consider to be an <strong>individual under the age of 13 or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction</strong>. That is why Apple has implemented additional processes and protections to help keep children’s personal data safe.</p> <p>To access certain Apple services, a child must have a child Apple Account. A child Apple Account may be created by the <strong>parent</strong> or, in the case of a Managed Apple Account, by the <strong>child’s educational institution</strong>.</p>
