Age VerificationAmber
ADGM defines a child as a natural person under 18, but no age-verification mechanism was confirmed.
Claims (1):
- ADGM Data Protection Regulations define a child as a natural person under the age of 18, in contrast to GDPR's default age of consent of 16 (adjustable by Member States to not younger than 13), but do not explicitly outline requirements for consent to process children's data.
Parental ConsentRed
ADGM does not explicitly outline consent requirements for children's data; DIFC Law 2020 does not generally address children's data.
Claims (2):
- ADGM Data Protection Regulations define a child as a natural person under the age of 18, in contrast to GDPR's default age of consent of 16 (adjustable by Member States to not younger than 13), but do not explicitly outline requirements for consent to process children's data.
- DIFC Law 2020, consistent with its 2007 predecessor, does not generally refer to children's data or provide specific requirements for collecting personal data from children.
