Cash App updated its children's privacy terms on April 10, 2026 to permit parental account authorization instead of a blanket prohibition. Previously, the policy stated children under 13 could not use Cash App services at all. The updated policy now allows a parent or guardian to sign up for or authorize services on a child's behalf, but includes conditions: if a child under 13 uses an unauthorized account, collected data will be deleted. The company added a reference to a separate Privacy Notice for Children with additional details on how child data is processed.
Consumers (parents/guardians): If you are a parent and want your child under 13 to use Cash App, you must set up the account yourself or explicitly authorize it, rather than your child setting it up independently
Consumers (cash app users under 13): If you are under 13 and sign up for Cash App without your parent's authorization, your data will be deleted once Cash App learns of this
Cash app (service provider): Cash App now provides a dedicated notice explaining its data practices specific to children, rather than treating children's data practices as part of the general privacy policy
Consumers (parents/guardians): Children under 13 are no longer absolutely barred from the service if a parent authorizes or signs up for it
Cash app (service provider): Cash App must delete data from unauthorized child accounts, but the prior language was clarified to specify that authorized accounts operate under different rules
The revised policy shifts from prohibiting all children under 13 from using Cash App to permitting use when a parent or guardian explicitly authorizes or signs up for the service on the child's behalf. This creates a new lawful use path for families, but also establishes a distinction between authorized and unauthorized child accounts. The policy states that if a child under 13 operates an unauthorized account, Cash App will delete collected data upon discovery. Parents or guardians who authorize services should review the new Privacy Notice for Children for details on how child data is processed.
→ If you are a parent or guardian and want to authorize Cash App services for a child under 13, review the separate Privacy Notice for Children to understand how data will be collected and processed
→ If your child under 13 already has an unauthorized Cash App account, contact Cash App to report it; the updated policy states data will be deleted upon discovery
