Age Suitability & Youth Accounts

Woggle is not an open public social network. Access is tied to real organizations, households, and approved invitations, and features may vary based on account type, age, role, and organization settings.

• Parents and guardians
• Adult leaders and volunteers
• Youth participants in organized groups
• Households participating in family-centered activities

In Woggle, youth accounts generally refer to program participants under age 18. Additional protections and restrictions apply to youth access.

• Adults may create and manage their own accounts and may be given administrative, leadership, household, or moderation permissions depending on their role.
• Youth ages 13-17 may be allowed to use Woggle through youth accounts, subject to organization rules, parent or guardian involvement, and feature-level permissions.
• Children under 13 may only participate in Woggle through a parent or guardian-authorized account setup where that option is available.

Where required by law, parental or guardian notice and consent must be provided before a child account is created or before personal information is collected, used, or shared.

Woggle is designed to support youth-safe communication practices in adult-supervised communities.

For youth-serving organizations that require stronger communication safeguards, Woggle is designed to support policies that prevent inappropriate one-to-one contact between adults and youth.

• Participation within invited, real-world groups rather than open public discovery
• Age-appropriate account permissions
• Parent or guardian visibility into youth activity where applicable
• Restrictions intended to reduce unsafe private communication patterns
• Organization and moderator oversight

Parents and guardians play an important role in youth participation on Woggle.

Depending on the account type, organization configuration, and feature being used, parents or guardians may have the ability to:

• Authorize youth access
• View youth account activity
• View youth messages or communication history
• Manage household participation
• Contact Woggle regarding privacy or safety concerns

Woggle provides tools for maintaining a safe and appropriate environment for all users.

Users can report inappropriate content or behavior. In addition, authorized moderators and administrators may review reported activity and may restrict, suspend, or remove accounts that violate platform rules, safety expectations, or organization policies.

Woggle applies additional care to youth-related account access and information handling.

When youth participation is enabled:

• Access to features may be limited based on age and role
• Information visibility may be limited or supervised
• Parents or guardians may have additional rights or visibility
• Additional notice, consent, and administrative controls may apply where required by law

For more information about how personal information is collected, used, and protected, please review our Privacy Policy.

Organizations that use Woggle may have their own rules for youth participation, communication, and supervision. Woggle is designed to support youth-safe administration, but organizations and families remain responsible for using the platform in a manner consistent with their own policies and applicable law.
