Amazing World Records aims to recognize, document, and celebrate extraordinary achievements from around the globe. We verify and archive record-breaking accomplishments across a wide range of categories, creating content that educates, motivates, and inspires people worldwide.
Our mission is inclusive—we encourage participation from individuals, families, schools, organizations, and communities of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities.

- Phone number
- Date of birth or age
- Gender
- Occupation or affiliation
This information is used strictly for record verification, communication, and service-related purposes.
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal data (such as health information, religious beliefs, or political opinions). If such information is voluntarily submitted—for example, as part of a record attempt—we will clarify how it will be handled before using it.
CHILDREN AND MINORS (UNDER 18)
We encourage parents and legal guardians to actively participate in their child’s online activities. Please review this Privacy Policy together to ensure understanding.
If a user is under the age of 18:
- We require contact details of a parent or legal guardian; and
- Parental or guardian consent must be provided before any personal data is processed.
For minors, data collection is limited to what is necessary, such as:
Record Attempt Applications:
Children may submit a request by email including their name, date of birth, and a valid email address. A parent or guardian must then contact us to provide consent. Once approved, the data will be handled according to a separate agreement applicable to all applicants.
