This provision establishes Airtable's age restriction at 18 rather than the 13-year threshold applicable under U.S. federal COPPA, which may create a higher age floor than legally required but also may not include the verifiable parental consent mechanisms required by COPPA if children under 13 do access the service.
The agreement states that users under 18 are not intended to use the Services, and that Airtable will delete personal information discovered to have been collected from a child, with parents able to request deletion via privacy@airtable.com.

"Our Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 18 (or other age as required by local law) and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information from our files as soon as is practicable. If you learn that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, you may contact us at privacy@airtable.com .Excerpt from Airtable's Privacy Policy
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), enforced by the FTC, which applies to online services that knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The policy sets the age threshold at 18, which is higher than the COPPA threshold, but does not describe verifiable parental consent mechanisms. GDPR Article 8 sets the age of digital consent at 16 (or lower as permitted by member states) for EEA users. The UK Age Appropriate Design Code may also apply. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low for standard enterprise use cases. The 18-year threshold may create compliance questions if the platform is used in educational or organizational contexts where minors participate. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA member states with lower digital consent ages (as low as 13 under GDPR Article 8 national implementations) may create variance in applicable age thresholds. The UK Age Appropriate Design Code creates additional obligations for services accessible to children. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations using Airtable in educational or community contexts involving minors should assess whether the 18-year age threshold is consistent with their own compliance obligations and whether additional contractual protections are required. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: If an organization's Airtable deployment may involve users under 18, legal teams should assess COPPA applicability and whether additional safeguards or contractual provisions are required beyond those stated in the Airtable policy.
