"Audible is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.— Excerpt from Audible's Audible Privacy Notice
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates COPPA (15 U.S.C. §§6501-6506) and FTC COPPA Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 312), enforced by the FTC. COPPA requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13, mandates data minimization, and requires deletion of children's data upon request. State laws including California's COPPA equivalent and the California Age-Appropriate Design Code (AB 2273) may impose additional obligations.
