If j177 becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under 18, that account will be immediately closed and all associated personal data will be deleted, subject to any legal obligation to retain evidence of the age violation.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has registered or attempted to register a j177 account, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with the subject "Underage Account Report".
