When the minor initiates creation of the account, it is necessary to provide a parent’s email, and the parent must approve the account creation. Arduino will process the [personal data](https://www.arduino.cc/en/privacy-policy/) of the parent. The parent will need to create an account if they don’t already have one in order to approve the creation of the Restricted Account. If after 30 days the parent or guardian hasn’t created an account and approved creation of the Restricted Account, the Restricted Account will not be created and all data provided will be deleted promptly.
