For children to access Pokémon GO, create a Pokémon Trainer Central account for yourself (if you don't already have one), and while logged in, add your child as a new child account, which you manage. Alternatively, the game’s publisher, Niantic Inc., provides a different account system called Niantic Kids. For information on Niantic Kids accounts and Niantic’s overall privacy policy regarding children, go to: https://nianticlabs.com/privacy/ - Section 8. Children.
