Why Parental Consent is Important

At Hack The Box, we prioritize the safety and privacy of all our users. In accordance with our commitment to protecting young users, we require that individuals under 18 years of age obtain parental or legal guardian consent before registering for an account and using our services. This policy ensures that minors have the necessary oversight and that their personal information is handled responsibly.


What You Need to Know

Age Requirement

If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you must have a parent or legal guardian complete a consent form. This form confirms that they:

Why We Need This Form

The consent form is essential because it:

  • Ensures compliance with legal regulations regarding minors’ online activities.

  • Provides a clear understanding of our terms and the nature of our services to parents and guardians.

  • Protects your privacy and security by making sure your information is handled with proper consent.

How to Submit the Consent Form

  1. Download the Consent Form: You can download the parental consent form from this link.

  2. Print and Complete the Form: Have your parent or legal guardian fill out all required information and sign the form. This includes:

    • Their full name.

    • Signature.

    • Date of signing.

  3. Provide Parent's ID: To verify the signature and full name on the consent form, we request a copy of the parent or legal guardian's ID (such as a driver’s license or passport). Please note:

    • We do not store any ID information; it is used solely to confirm the validity of the signed consent form.

    • You can submit both the form and ID as either scanned copies or clear photographs. Ensure all information is legible.

  4. Submit Both Documents: Once the form is completed and you have the ID ready:

    • Email the scanned/photographed form and ID to [email protected].

    • Alternatively, you can upload the documents through our support channel, opening a support discussion.

Important Notes:

  • Legibility: Make sure that all text and information on both the consent form and ID is clear and easy to read.

  • Privacy: Rest assured, the ID will not be stored or used for any other purpose beyond confirming the parent's identity for this specific form.

Following these steps ensures a smooth verification process for your account registration.

What Happens Next

Once we receive the completed form, our team will review it and approve your account registration. We will notify you via email once your account is activated. If there are any issues or if additional information is needed, we will reach out to you promptly.

Important Considerations

  • Incomplete Submissions: If we do not receive a completed consent form, we cannot process your registration.

  • Accuracy: Ensure that all information provided in the form is accurate and complete to avoid delays in the registration process.

  • Privacy: We take your privacy seriously. The information provided in the consent form will be used solely to verify consent and manage your account.

By adhering to these guidelines, we aim to create a safe and enjoyable environment for all users of Hack The Box. We appreciate your attention to this important matter and look forward to welcoming you to our community.
