Children's Data Policy (UK)
Informational English version. hangel is operated by Social Business Global (International Social Benefit Association), Türkiye. Effective: 31 August 2026.
1. hangel is for adults
hangel is intended for users aged 18 or over. The service is not directed at children, is not designed to appeal to children, and offers no child-specific features or accounts.
2. No knowing collection of children's data
hangel does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.
- Registration asks users to confirm they are 18 or over.
- hangel does not market the service to children and publishes no child-oriented content or features.
- Because the service is not offered to children, hangel operates no verifiable-parental-consent mechanism — there is no lawful use of hangel by a child that such a mechanism would support.
3. If we discover a child's data
If we learn that personal data of a person under 18 has been collected — for example through a report from a parent or guardian, or through our own checks — we will:
- close the account, and
- delete the associated personal data promptly, except where a legal obligation requires limited retention.
4. Parents and guardians
If you believe a child is using hangel or that hangel holds a child's personal data:
- contact privacy@hangel.org (Türkiye/KVKK: kvkk@hangel.org);
- include enough detail for us to find the account (for example the email address or phone number used);
- we will investigate and confirm the outcome to you once any deletion is done.
5. Special-category data
The optional blood-type feature is available only to adult account holders with their explicit consent under the UK GDPR. It is never offered to or collected about children.
6. Complaints
You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) — https://ico.org.uk — as described in the Privacy Policy (UK).
7. Language
The Turkish-language master documents prevail to the extent permitted by law; mandatory rights under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 are unaffected.
