AWS Certified Alexa Skill Builder – Specialty — Question 11

An Alexa Skill Builder submitted a child-directed skill for certification that lists the nearest skateboard parks. The Builder ensured that
✑ The skill does not link to an external account
✑ The skill stored the child's preference by userId
✑ The skill has a valid privacy policy link in the skill Distribution page
Given this information, why will the skill fail certification?

Answer options

• A. The Builder did not upload a privacy policy document
• B. Child-directed skills cannot use location information
• C. The child's userId cannot be used because of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) restrictions.
• D. The skill should not be child-directed as it can be used by children over 13 years old.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The skill fails certification because the use of the child's userId violates PII regulations, which prohibit the collection of such information without explicit consent. The other options are incorrect because the Builder did provide a privacy policy, location data can be used in child-directed skills under certain conditions, and the skill's intended audience does not exclude children over 13.
