Extra Consent Needed for IAPs if Family Sharing is Disabled?
Hi everyone, I’m developing an game with in-app purchases, designed for a a mixed audience(could be used by kids under 13). I understand that Apple’s Family Sharing has built-in consent mechanisms, like “Ask to Buy,” which helps manage purchases for kids. However, I’m unsure how to handle cases where Family Sharing is not set up or is disabled. Key Concerns: Kids Without Family Sharing: It’s possible for kids to have Apple IDs that are not part of Family Sharing, either because the feature is disabled, set up incorrectly, or the child is using an independent account due to an incorrect birthdate. This raises questions about whether relying solely on Apple’s built-in protections is sufficient. Is It Enough to Rely on Apple’s Systems?: Apple’s systems do a great job of managing consent when Family Sharing is in place, but I’m concerned about compliance in cases where kids are not covered by these protections. I want to ensure that my app remains compliant with COPPA and other relevant regulations, especially for users not covered by Family Sharing, without adding unnecessary layers for those who are correctly set up. Looking forward to your insights and recommendations! Thanks in advance!
