Cash App updated its children's privacy policy on April 19, 2026 to permit parental authorization of services for children under 13, rather than prohibiting their use entirely. Previously, the policy stated that children under 13 could not use Cash App services and that the platform was not directed at children under 13. The revised policy now allows a parent or guardian to sign up for or authorize services on behalf of a child under 13, and establishes that data deletion applies specifically to unauthorized child accounts. A new reference to a separate Privacy Notice for Children was added.
Parents: If your child is under 13 and you want them to use Cash App, you must set up or authorize the account yourself rather than allowing them to create one independently.
The updated policy establishes that children under 13 may use Cash App services if a parent or guardian signs up for or authorizes the account on their behalf. Previously, the policy explicitly prohibited any use by children under 13. The revised language clarifies that data deletion obligations apply when Cash App learns an account belongs to an unauthorized child under 13, but does not specify what happens to data from authorized child accounts or how parental oversight operates. A separate Privacy Notice for Children is referenced but not included in the change summary.
→ Review the Privacy Notice for Children referenced in the updated policy to understand what data Cash App collects from authorized child accounts and how it is used.
→ If you are a parent authorizing Cash App services for a child under 13, confirm that you understand the parental authorization process and any consent mechanisms Cash App establishes.
