"BeReal never knowingly or willingly collects any personal data concerning children under 13 years of age. If you are under 13, please do not use BeReal.— Excerpt from BeReal's BeReal Privacy Policy
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) prohibits collection of personal data from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent; in the EU, GDPR Article 8 sets the consent age at 16 (or lower with member state variation), and platforms targeting minors face heightened obligations under the EU's Digital Services Act.
