Gamerhood

Kid Safety

Your child's safety is our top priority. Here's exactly how we protect young creators on Gamerhood.

Our Safety Principles

Every feature on Gamerhood is designed with child safety as a non-negotiable requirement.

Parent-Owned Accounts

Every account on Gamerhood is created and owned by a parent or legal guardian. Children operate as "managed profiles" under the parent's account. The parent provides all personal information — the child never does.

No Child PII Collected

Child profiles contain only a display name and an optional avatar. We never collect a child's real name, email address, physical address, phone number, date of birth, or any other personally identifiable information.

Verifiable Parental Consent

Before any child profile can go live, the parent must complete an FTC-approved consent method — a credit card micro-charge, signed electronic consent form, or government ID verification.

Automated Content Moderation

Every uploaded design is automatically screened for inappropriate content (violence, nudity, drugs) using AI-powered image analysis, and for copyright infringement using reverse image search. Flagged designs are held for manual review.

No Social Features Between Children

There is no direct messaging, commenting, or any form of communication between child accounts. Parents and adult buyers can leave product reviews, but children cannot contact each other through the platform.

Data Minimization & Retention

We collect only what's necessary to operate the marketplace. Our data retention policy is published in our Privacy Policy. Parents can request deletion of all data associated with their account at any time.

No Tracking or Behavioral Advertising

We do not use tracking cookies, behavioral advertising, or interest-based targeting on any pages accessible to children. We do not sell or share personal information with third-party advertisers.

COPPA Compliance

Gamerhood is designed to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), including the updated rule effective June 2025. We regularly review our practices against FTC guidelines.

Parent Controls

As a parent, you have full visibility and control over your child's account.

  • View, edit, or delete your child's profile at any time
  • Review and approve all designs before they go live
  • Monitor earnings, sales, and storefront activity
  • Set product pricing and manage payout settings
  • Temporarily disable or permanently delete a child's storefront
  • Download or request deletion of all associated data
  • Receive email notifications for all significant account activity
