What do they mean? PEGI 3 The content of games given this rating is considered suitable for all age groups. Some violence in a comical context (typically Bugs Bunny or Tom & Jerry cartoon-like forms of violence) is acceptable. The child should not be able to associate the character on the screen with real life characters, they should be totally fantasy. The game should not contain any sounds or pictures that are likely to scare or frighten young children. No bad language should be heard.

What do they mean? PEGI 7 Any game that would normally be rated at 3 but contains some possibly frightening scenes or sounds may be considered suitable in this category.

What do they mean? PEGI 12 Videogames that show violence of a slightly more graphic nature towards fantasy character and/or non graphic violence towards human- looking characters or recognisable animals, as well as videogames that show nudity of a slightly more graphic nature would fall in this age category. Any bad language in this category must be mild and fall short of sexual expletives.

What do they mean? PEGI 16 This rating is applied once the depiction of violence (or sexual activity) reaches a stage that looks the same as would be expected in real life. More extreme bad language, the concept of the use of tobacco and drugs and the depiction of criminal activities can be content of games that are rated 16.

What do they mean? PEGI 18 The adult classification is applied when the level of violence reaches a stage where it becomes a depiction of gross violence and/or includes elements of specific types of violence. Gross violence is the most difficult to define since it can be very subjective in many cases, but in general terms it can be classed as the depictions of violence that would make the viewer feel a sense of revulsion.

Descriptors shown on the back of the packaging indicate the main reasons why a game has received a particular age rating. There are eight such descriptors: violence, bad language, fear, drugs, sexual, discrimination, gambling and online gameplay with other people. Bad Language Game contains bad language Discrimination Game contains depictions of, or material which may encourage, discrimination Drugs Game refers to or depicts the use of drugs Fear Game may be frightening or scary for young children Gambling Games that encourage or teach gambling Sex Game depicts nudity and/or sexual behaviour or sexual references Violence Game contains depictions of violence Online gameplay Game can be played online

Our Audience Snapchat is intended for people who are at least 13 years old. Persons under the age of 13 are prohibited from creating Snapchat accounts. For certain features or functionality offered by us or others through the Services, users must be at least 18 years old. Those Services may be subject to separate terms from us or third parties that contain these further age requirements. If you are under 18 and use those Services, you may be violating the third party’s governing terms, which we deem a violation of these Terms as well. We do, however, offer a limited-functionality version of Snapchat, called “Snapkidz,” for children under the age of 13. Snapkidz includes the familiar interface for taking Snaps, captioning, drawing, and saving Snaps locally on the device, but does not support sending or receiving Snaps or adding friends and, since the experience is local to the user’s device, no Snapchat account is created. Snapchat

SNAPCHAT 1. Recipients may have saved your images Despite the app's promises, your images did not necessarily disappear forever. Recipients of your Snapchat messages could also use their devices' screenshot capabilities to capture an image of a snap while it appeared on their screens. 2. Snapchat may have transmitted your location While Snapchat's privacy policy says it does not ask for, track, or access any location-specific information from your device at any time, those claims are false. In fact, the company did transmit WiFi-based and cell- based location information from Android users' mobile devices to its analytics tracking service provider. 3. Snapchat may have collected contact information from your address book Snapchat's privacy policy claimed that the app collected only your , phone number, and Facebook ID to find friends for you to connect with. However, if you entered your phone number to find friends, Snapchat collected the names and phone numbers of all the contacts in your mobile device address books without your notice or consent. 4. The "Find Friends" feature was not secure Because Snapchat did not verify users' phone numbers during registration, some consumers complained that they sent images or videos to someone under the false impression that they were communicating with a friend. In reality, these messages were sent to strangers who had registered with phone numbers that did not belong to them.

By allowing children to access these services we are leaving them vulnerable to the wider world. We want to work with parents to ensure we do everything we can to protect our children in every way possible. If your child has a mobile device we would ask that you check to see if they are using any inappropriate social networking sites/APPs and remove them immediately. If they use a gaming console we would ask that you check the age ratings of the games they play and ensure their online activity is limited through parental controls (such as adding friends etc.). There is lots of guidance for parents/carers online. The NSPCC says that: ‘Children spend a lot of time online – it can be a great way for them to socialise, explore and have fun. But children do also face risks such cyberbullying or seeing content that's inappropriate. That's why it's important for them to know how to stay safe online. Whether you're unsure about what happens online or are up to speed with new technology, it's important that you talk to your child about staying safe.cyberbullyingtalk to your child about staying safe It may feel daunting, but you don't need to be an expert on the internet. Understanding what children do online and the risks they face will help you keep your child safe online. Talking to your child is one of the best ways to keep them safe. You can also use parental controls on social networks, online games and browsers and on both hardware and software that can filter or monitor what your child can see. Preventing your children from using the internet or mobile phones won't keep them safe in the long run, so it's important to have conversations that help your child understand how to stay safe and what to do if they ever feel scared or uncomfortable.’ (NSPCC – Online Safety) For more information, guidance or support you can go to the NSPCC website or direct to the NET- AWARE site by typing the following links into your web browser: NSPCC: NET-AWARE:
