Children’s Privacy Notice

In short: We collect and process children’s personal data (“Children’s Personal Data”) provided either directly by the child or their parent/legal guardian, or by our customers when offering our services to children. We may also collect certain related technical information.

The Children’s Personal Data we process may include: name, date of birth, contact details, profile information such as username and password (if an account is created), as well as certain device information, activity data, and unique identifiers.

In short: Either the child provides us the data, or third parties such as customers or authorities provide us with it.

We collect Children’s Personal Data via our customers or, regarding technical data (if any), directly from the children’s device, including when the Children’s Personal Data is provided to us by logging into or otherwise engaging with any of our services offered to children by our customers.

In exceptional cases, we may also receive Children’s Personal Data from other third parties or regulatory authorities.

In short: We use Children’s Personal Data to deliver and improve our services, communicate where appropriate, comply with legal requirements, and ensure data security.

We will only use Children’s Personal Data where permitted by law. Most commonly, this includes:

• providing and enhancing our services;
• communicating and sharing relevant information with children (where appropriate) and our customers;
• complying with our legal obligations; and
• enabling parents or legal guardians (where applicable) to understand how their children use our services, either directly with us or through our customers.

In limited cases, we may use anonymised or pseudonymised Children’s Personal Data for analytics, e.g. to improve our services or to provide our customers with insights into service usage.

We will never contact children directly to promote our services.

In short: Our customers and trusted third parties who help us deliver our services – are always under strict conditions to ensure the security of the data (as detailed in our Corporate Privacy Notice) see link https://clarivate.com/privacy-center/notices-policies/privacy-policy/.

We require all third parties, including our customers, to safeguard the Children’s Personal Data and handle it in compliance with applicable law. Where we control the processing of Children’s Personal Data, we permit third parties and customers to process Children’s Personal Data only for specified purposes and strictly in line with our instructions. Where we process data solely on instructions of our customer, we will only process such data based on the instructions of our customer and in accordance with applicable law.

Our third parties are required to keep Children’s Personal Data safe and secure and process them only based on our instructions and in accordance with applicable law including applicable privacy laws.

In short: We put in place technical and organisational measures including strict access principles, confidentiality obligations and data retention policies.

We have put in place appropriate technical and organisational security measures (“Security Measures”) to prevent Children’s Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or seen by others when it should not be seen. In addition, we limit access to Children’s Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors (together referred to as “Personnel”) and other affiliates or third parties who have a business need to know and who work within our business or network internally including our group companies at Clarivate.

All Personnel will only process Children’s Personal Data on Clarivate’s instructions, and they are each subject to a duty of confidentiality which means that they must process Children’s Personal Data safe and secure. They will uphold our Security Measures.

We will only retain Children’s Personal Data for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes we have collected it for or as instructed by our customers. Where we do not only process Children’s Personal Data based on instructions issued by our customers, we are obliged by law to keep basic information about children in accordance with our data retention policies and guidelines after children cease to use our services.

Our Security Measures can be found at and shall include, without limitation, those set out on Clarivate’s website (“Information Security Program”) and (“Security Compliance”) obligations available at https://clarivate.com/information-security/information-security-program/ and https://clarivate.com/trust-center/security-compliance/.

In short: Children may decide to not use and how to use the services when accessing our services via our customers.

Children may choose whether to use our services offered by our customers to them and parents or guardians may need to give consent and permission to enable these services.

Please note that if consent or permission are withdrawn or deletion of Children’s Personal Data is requested, certain services and features on the services may no longer be available and access to our services may be limited.

Please refer to the Cookie Notice available at  https://clarivate.com/privacy-center/notices-policies/cookie-notice/ for further information about the processing of Children’s Personal Data by using cookies and technologies of user tracking.

In short: We do not have any links embedded in our services.

Our services for children do not include links to third-party websites and applications.

If our customer provides any links to third-party websites and applications on their platforms, please be aware that by clicking on the links, this may allow third parties to collect or share Children’s Personal Data. This is out of our control.
