Article 27ter requires audiovisual media service providers to make harmful programs available only under conditions that normally keep minors from seeing or hearing them, with a grand-ducal regulation setting the measures. Article 28septies, paragraph 3, point f), requires a video-sharing platform provider to set up and use systems to verify users' age. Neither Article requires a log or a record of the checks to be kept or produced, and the last paragraph of Article 28septies bars commercial processing of minors' data collected for age verification and parental control without setting a retention rule.
