What it is

Airtable's services are not for users under 18, and the company says it will delete any children's data it accidentally collects.

This analysis describes what Airtable's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The age restriction is set at 18 globally, which is higher than the COPPA threshold of 13 in the US, but the policy relies on a reactive rather than proactive age verification approach.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Children under 18 are prohibited from using Airtable, and if a child's data is collected, the policy commits to deleting it, but parents who believe their child has used the service should contact privacy@airtable.com to request deletion.
