Parent Request to Delete Child Information on Website (OR)

Oregon

Children are developing "digital footprints" earlier than ever. Depending on the social media habits of family and friends, some children will have a digital presence from the day they are born! As their guardian, you may wish to take steps to protect your child's privacy.

In some cases, you may have a legal right to request a removal of content, especially if it is consistent with cyberbullying, personally harmful to your child, or untrue. Even if you don't have a legal right to the removal of content, many online companies will allow you to make this type of request.

You can use this letter to request removal of content appearing on a website regarding your child or legal ward. You may be asked to provide proof that you have authority to act on your child's behalf. Keep in mind that each company may have a unique process for making these types of requests so be sure to check the website.
