Updates to Supplemental Privacy Policy and Parent Privacy Disclosure

[RyanBsdafasdfdfbd]

I got this email from Meta last night:

Hi Ryan,

We wanted to let you know that we’ve made updates to the Supplemental Meta Platforms Technologies Privacy Policy and the Parent Privacy Disclosure that apply to your or your child’s use of Meta Platforms Technologies Products, such as Meta Quest. These updates provide information on new features that allow you to add approved contacts for your child, manage who they follow, and manage their privacy settings.

Here are some of the key updates we’re making:
Your child will now be able to follow others and have followers. Your child’s Meta Horizon profile is set to private by default, which means all follow requests have to be accepted by your child or you. Now, you can choose to manage who your child follows and who follows your child in Family Center.
You can add users as approved contacts that your child can call and chat with. Approved contacts can also send or receive invites from your child to join them in an app or experience. You or your child can remove approved contacts anytime in Family Center.
You can control who can see your child’s activity in virtual reality with privacy settings in Family Center. Your child’s Active Status and current app usage will be defaulted to “off” or hidden from others unless you change these default privacy settings in Family Center. By default, your child’s activity will only be visible to your child.
People you add as approved contacts, your child’s followers, and those they follow may appear higher in your child’s search results.
We may collect information about how your child is connected to others, such as who they follow and who you have added as an approved contact.
To use some of these new features, you’ll need to accept the updates to our Parent Privacy Disclosure.

When I login to meta family center I cannot see any child accounts. I have no idea what account this is even referring to. Also I find the changes in this update to be intrusive and creepy. No I do not want my 5 year old being contacted by adult strangers in VR or having his usage and data tracked by Meta.

After reading this email and trying to dig further with no success, I have decided our quest headset is now off limits to our three young kids. I was able to login to our 9 year old's meta account using his email address and his birthday is wrong (says he is older than he actually is and I can't update it). I decided to delete the account associated with him and Meta is saying it takes 30 days to delete his data, but won't even say if the actual account is going to be deleted. 

We don't want this product if it is trying to expose them to adults on the internet. I am thoroughly creeped out now by Meta. Leave the kids alone @Zucks

Can you guys make sure you're logged in on a browser, then go back to the email and try to hit confirm again. It looks like it's a redirect link.

I logged out of the family center and relogged back in. I then hit the link through the email and still no luck.

I can't accept it have tried it numerous times.

I have tried on my phone in different browsers. And on my laptop in different browsers.

I have been on different networks in the Netherlands, Denmark and in Germany it still won't work unfortunately.

[Mafootje]

I don't think it's smart to post these details in this forum? Or is it only visible for me and support?

[Mafootje]

Before the merging of these two threads I was asked to sent some information through a private message. But the responses of the support team aren't in your thread.

How and where do I send a private message? 

I keep getting back in the community forum

Hi @Mafootje 

click on the name @MetaQuestSupport 

it'll bring you to their profile page, then click the blue "send a message" button.

Looks like this

Hey @Mafootje, if you'd like to send a private message to @MetaQuestSupport you can click their name to get to their profile. Once there you can click the blue 'Send a Message' button. I'd recommend keeping in touch here in this thread though, seeing as @FunkyTanuki is keeping contact with our internal team.

-Looks like @Choleni beat me to the punch though haha

Still not seeing any new features, was told they were slowly rolling out and should be enabled by the 14th.

[BlockishSand317]

Also not seeing new features.  Still can’t accept new parent disclosure through email that was sent, still can’t add my son as a follower or turn his profile to public.  Nothing that it says I should be able to do can I actually do.
