ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS FOR CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

While the majority of WBS’s websites are designed for adults due to the nature of our business activities, in cases where a website is intended for use by a younger audience, we will seek consent from the person with parental responsibility, as required by applicable laws and regulations. The age at which consent is necessary may vary from country to country as well as state-wise. However, we will primarily give due regard to Indian data privacy regulations when processing any children’s data.

If you are a child below the age where parental consent is required in your country, it is recommended that you review the terms of this Privacy Notice with your parent or guardian to ensure comprehension and acceptance. In instances where we inadvertently collect personal data from a child without the required parental or guardian consent, we will promptly delete such information.

Access to specific sections of WBS’s websites and eligibility for certain benefits, such as prizes or rewards, is generally restricted to users above a specified age. To enforce age restrictions, we may use your personal data for age verification checks. Our commitment is to create a safe and secure online environment for users of all ages, especially children, and we actively work to comply with applicable regulations and uphold the highest standards of privacy protection.
