ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision operationalizes compliance with state privacy statutes (such as CCPA and similar laws) that restrict sale and sharing of minors' personal information. It establishes a baseline data practice limitation that applies regardless of parental consent or user action.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Calm commits not to sell or share data of users under 16, offering a degree of protection for younger users. However, the policy does not explicitly address whether the service is available to users under 13 or detail COPPA compliance measures.

We do not knowingly "sell" or "share" personal data about consumers under the age of 16.

— Excerpt from Calm's Calm Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

The policy's commitment not to sell or share data of consumers under 16 satisfies CCPA Section 1798.120(c) opt-in requirements for minors. However, the policy is silent on COPPA compliance (applicable to users under 13), which is a potential gap that compliance teams should investigate, particularly given Calm's positioning as a wellness app that could attract younger users.
