Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
A provider of an audiovisual media service on demand must choose suitable measures so that a programme capable of disrupting a minor's physical, psychological or moral development, such as pornography or gross gratuitous violence, cannot ordinarily be seen or heard by a minor; those measures include age-verification tools or other technical measures that prevent a minor from accessing the programme.
The provider must also give sufficient, freely and easily accessible information about the potentially harmful content a programme carries. Personal data of minors collected for this purpose may not be processed for commercial ends such as direct marketing, profiling or behaviourally targeted advertising. A breach of this duty is an administrative offence the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting may fine up to CZK 2,000,000.
