Question

A social gaming company is launching a new mobile app that will be used by both adults and children. During design, the privacy engineering team must decide how to configure the default profile visibility and in-app chat features for newly created accounts before any age verification or parental consent is completed. Which configuration best applies privacy by default?

Accepted Answer

Set profiles to the most restrictive setting (private, chat disabled) by default until age and any required consent are established

Answer

Set profiles to public and enable open chat by default, then restrict features only after a user is confirmed to be a child

Answer

Enable all social features by default but display a privacy notice describing how to disable them
