Processing sensitive data

It is possible for a blog visitor under 16 years to leave a comment on my website. Based on the data I receive I cannot determine the age of every visitor. Therefore I recommend that parents monitor the online activities of their children in order to avoid the processing of data of children without parental consent. If you are convinced that I processed personal data of a minor without parental consent, please contact me via info@golivegotravel.nl. At your request I will delete this information.
