Children's Privacy and GDPR Compliance
We take the privacy of children and their parents or legal guardians very seriously and comply fully with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Our Service is intended for use by parents or legal guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under the age of 16 without verified parental consent. In Malta and under GDPR, the minimum age for valid consent is 16, unless a Member State sets a lower age (not below 13). If we discover that a child has provided us with personal data without the consent of a parent or guardian, we will delete such information immediately.
Parents and legal guardians have the right to:
Access, correct, or request deletion of their child's personal data
Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting lawful processing before withdrawal)
Request details on how their child's personal data is processed, stored, and shared
File a complaint with the Data Protection Authority if they believe their child's rights have been violated
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that we may have collected information about your child without consent, please contact us immediately at gigglesmalta@gmail.com.
Babysitter Screening and POMA Compliance
All babysitters engaged through our Service are registered under the Protection of Minors Act (POMA). This means that a court recourse has been submitted to perform background checks on each sitter before hiring, in order to confirm that they have no violations against the Protection of Minors Act.
Security of Data
We use commercially reasonable methods to protect your personal data, but no system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted online.
Links to Other Websites
Our Service may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page, and where appropriate, notified by email or notice on the Service. The "Last updated" date will always be shown at the top.
