This provision establishes jurisdiction-dependent parental consent obligations, which engage COPPA for US users under 13, GDPR Article 8 for EU users below the applicable national digital consent age (ranging from 13 to 16 across EU member states), and equivalent national frameworks. The document does not specify the mechanism by which parental consent is obtained or verified.
Interpretive note: The document does not describe the parental consent verification mechanism, making compliance adequacy under COPPA and GDPR Article 8 impossible to assess from the terms alone.
