Cash App updated its policy on children under 13 on March 15, 2026. Previously, the policy permitted parental authorization for children under 13 to use the service; the updated terms now state that children under 13 cannot use Cash App at all. The policy also removes references to a separate Privacy Notice for Children, simplifying disclosures but eliminating specific guidance on child data handling.

What this means for you

The updated terms state that children under 13 can no longer use Cash App, eliminating a path that previously existed for parents to authorize accounts on behalf of younger children. The revised language no longer references a separate Privacy Notice for Children, consolidating all child data handling disclosures into the main policy. If Cash App collects data and later learns it came from a child under 13, the policy requires deletion of that data, though the updated language broadens this obligation by removing the phrase 'for an unauthorized account', potentially extending deletion requirements beyond accounts that were never authorized.

Key Clauses Affected

children under 13 eligibility

Parental authorization pathway eliminated; children under 13 now prohibited from using the service.

child data deletion obligation

Updated language broadens deletion requirement by removing 'unauthorized account' qualifier, potentially extending obligation to all child data collected regardless of account authorization status.

Privacy Notice for Children reference removal

Removed reference to separate child-specific privacy notice, consolidating all disclosures into main policy.
