A COPPA-Compliant Gift List App Built Around Parents
Verifiable parental consent, 18+ organizer age gate, and a Parent Data Dashboard for full control.
Most gift list and wish list tools were never designed with children in mind. They collect data the way any consumer service does — for ads, recommendations, or analytics — without the protections the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires.
This Is What They Want is different. It is a COPPA-compliant gift list app: only adults 18+ can create an organizer account, every child profile requires verifiable parental consent, and parents have a dedicated dashboard to view, export, or delete their family's data at any time.
What COPPA compliance actually means here
- 18+ organizer age gate — only verified adults can create accounts and add child profiles.
- Verifiable parental consent — required before any child profile data is stored.
- Parent Data Dashboard — view, export, or delete all data for every child profile in your family at any time.
- No third-party advertising — we never sell or share child data with advertisers, brokers, or analytics networks.
- No behavioral profiling — we don't build interest profiles or recommendation models from kids' wish lists.
- Privacy-friendly analytics — page views are aggregated and cookieless. No personal tracking of children.
- Minimum data collection — only what's needed to run the service: name, list items, optional photos, optional dates.
How the parental consent flow works
When you add a child profile, you confirm that you are the parent or legal guardian and provide verifiable consent. We use account-level verification (a real adult email, payment method on premium plans, and an explicit consent step) consistent with COPPA's "verifiable parental consent" guidance. Children never create their own accounts and never log in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is This Is What They Want COPPA compliant?
Yes. We require verifiable parental consent for all child profiles, enforce an 18+ age gate for organizers, run no third-party ads, do not sell data, and provide a Parent Data Dashboard for full export and deletion control.
Can my child have their own login?
No. Only adult organizers (18+) have accounts. Children appear as profiles within a parent's family, never as independent users. This is a deliberate design choice required for COPPA compliance.
Can I delete all of my child's data?
Yes. The Parent Data Dashboard lets you delete a single child profile or your entire family account, including all wish list items, photos, and calendar events. Deletion is permanent and processed within 30 days.
Do you use children's wish lists for ads or AI training?
No. We never sell data, never run third-party ads, and never use family data to train external AI models. AI features (like image recognition or item enrichment) run on Google Cloud APIs configured to not retain or train on the data we send.
How do you handle international families (GDPR / EU)?
EU and EEA families have additional rights under GDPR including consent withdrawal and data portability. The same Parent Data Dashboard satisfies these rights. Email privacy@clearptech.com to make a formal data request.
