When children take part in anything online, safety has to come first, not as a feature, but as a starting principle. Here is how WTO is built to protect young learners.
A child never registers alone
A verified parent or school always creates and controls the account. Verifiable parental consent is built into sign-up, in line with DPDP, GDPR-K, and COPPA, so participation is approved and overseen by an adult from the very first step.
No ads, no profiling, no open chat
- Data is minimised: we collect only what the competition needs.
- It is never sold and never used for advertising.
- There is no open chat and no profiling of children.
- You can review, correct, or delete your child's data at any time.
Privacy-safe recognition
Public visibility is always opt-in. A child appears on a leaderboard only with consent, showing only what a parent or school has approved, so recognition never comes at the cost of privacy.
Child-safety is not a setting you switch on. It is the default that shapes every product decision.
