1. Who Can Use TeenWork

TeenWork is a supervised teen employment platform for teens ages 13–17, their parents/guardians (18+), and employers posting legal age-appropriate jobs. By creating an account you confirm you meet the eligibility requirements for your account type and that all information you provide is accurate and truthful.

2. Parent & Guardian Accounts

Parent accounts must be created by an adult (18+). Creating a parent account as a minor to bypass oversight violates these terms and may result in permanent suspension. We use date-of-birth verification and knowledge questions to enforce this. Parents bear ultimate responsibility for their teen's job activity on this platform.

3. Teen Worker Accounts

Teen accounts require a linked parent/guardian. Parents retain full oversight and approval authority over all job applications, messaging, and profile activity. Teens may not disable or circumvent parental controls. TeenWork may share relevant activity summaries with linked parent accounts at any time.

4. Employer Responsibilities

Employers must comply with all applicable federal and state child labor laws. Specifically:

• All job postings must accurately describe duties, pay, and time requirements.
• Employers may not require teens under 16 to operate heavy machinery, work past 10pm on school nights, or exceed legal hour limits.
• Employers must obtain and retain any required work permits or employment certificates.
• Misrepresentation of job duties, pay, or working conditions is grounds for immediate account termination.
• Employers may not request any information from teens that is not strictly related to job performance.

5. Safety & Child Protection

TeenWork automatically scans all messages for inappropriate, harmful, or predatory content. Blocked messages are logged and may be reviewed by our safety team. Patterns of concerning behavior are reported to the appropriate authorities. We maintain zero tolerance for grooming, harassment, or exploitation of minors.

6. Data Collection & Privacy

We collect name, email, age, location (city/state), skills, and job activity data necessary to operate the platform. We do not sell personal data. We share only what is required for job matching: for teens, employers see first name, age, city, and skills only — never contact info, photos, or full legal name until a job is parent-approved. Parent contact info is never shared with employers.

7. Push & Email Notifications

By creating an account you agree to receive transactional emails (account verification, job updates, safety alerts). You may optionally enable push notifications for new job matches, application status updates, and platform activity. You can adjust notification preferences at any time in your account settings. If you are inactive for 7+ days, we may send you a re-engagement email to let you know about new jobs or activity in your area. You can opt out of these emails at any time.

8. AI Features

TeenWork uses AI to assist with job matching, message safety screening, and informational responses. AI responses are informational only and do not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice. AI language checks are used to review message content for safety — this is a mandatory feature that cannot be disabled for accounts involving minors.

9. Location Data

We use your city and state to match you with nearby jobs. We do not collect GPS or precise location data. You may update your location at any time in your profile. Location data is used only for job matching and is never shared with third parties for advertising.

10. Account Activity & Re-engagement

If your account has been inactive for 7 or more days, TeenWork may send you an in-app message and/or email to notify you of new opportunities, nearby job activity, or platform updates relevant to your profile. These messages are sent to help you not miss opportunities — not for advertising purposes. You can opt out in settings.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, misrepresent user identity, put minors at risk, or are reported for repeated safety violations. Terminated accounts may be reviewed if there is evidence of an error.
