Parental Consent

For users under 16 years of age

This page is for information only.
The form below is a preview of the consent process that takes place during your child's onboarding within the WordRunner app. It is shown here so that parents and guardians can review what to expect before their child begins the signup process. Submitting this form does not create an account or grant access.
Why is parental consent required?
Under Swiss data protection law (DSG) and GDPR, we require parental or guardian consent before users under 16 can create an account on WordRunner.

Consent Declaration

How does the actual consent process work?
When your child signs up — either independently or via a teacher's invite code — the app guides them through onboarding. If they declare they are under 16, the system requests parental consent before activating their account. You'll receive a secure email link to review and approve. The account activates only once consent is verified.
