Partners may receive personal information for API/SDK functions under an ambiguous consent condition
Section 4.2 states: “Except where we have obtained your explicit consent or where your consent is not required under laws, we may share your personal information with partners (including our affiliates and other third parties) to enable the normal use of functions such as API interfaces and software development kits (SDKs).” Read as written, the sentence permits Kimi to share personal information with partners for these functions and presents consent-based sharing and legally exempt sharing as alternatives; it does not plainly condition partner sharing on your consent. The neighbouring clauses share the same preamble with a different main clause: Section 4.3 permits merger-type transfers subject to protective conditions, and Section 4.4 states Kimi will not publicly disclose personal information except with explicit consent or a legal exemption. Section 10 says the Chinese version prevails on any discrepancy or ambiguity, so the saved English wording does not by itself settle how this exception is applied.

The following are some specific suggestions:
Educate minors about the importance of personal information: Teach minors not to casually share personal information online, including but not limited to names, addresses, and school names. At the same time, emphasize that they should be especially cautious when uploading personal photos, and in particular avoid uploading any inappropriate photos.
Correctly using AIGC (AI-generated content) technology: As AI technology develops, minors may come into contact with various forms of artificial intelligence tools. Guardians should guide minors to understand the functions of these tools and the risks they may bring, such as how improper use may lead to privacy leaks or generate undesirable content. Ensure that minors know which behaviors are appropriate and which are not allowed.
Supervision and communication: Regularly check minors' online activities and maintain open communication channels so that minors feel they can report any problems or discomfort they encounter to you at any time. This can help discover and resolve problems promptly and prevent situations from worsening.
