Children's Data Collection (Ages 13 and Up)

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

Cash App allows users aged 13 and older to use its services, meaning it collects personal, financial, and potentially biometric data from minors.

Why it matters

Children aged 13-17 are a protected class under US privacy law, and their financial and biometric data deserves heightened protection that may not be fully addressed in this Notice.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

While COPPA applies strictly to children under 13, state privacy laws (CCPA, the California Age-Appropriate Design Code, and similar statutes in other states) impose heightened obligations for processing data of minors aged 13-17. Compliance teams should verify parental consent mechanisms, restrictions on advertising to minors, and data minimization practices for under-18 users.

Consumer impact

Cash App collects highly sensitive personal data including biometric facial scans, Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, geolocation, and detailed transaction histories, and shares this information with affiliates, advertisers, financial partners, and law enforcement. Users have limited ability to opt out of certain data uses, particularly marketing and behavioral profiling, though state residents (e.g. California, Colorado) may have broader rights including data deletion and opt-out of data sharing. You can submit a data access, deletion, or opt-out request through Cash App's privacy request portal at https://cash.app/legal/us/en-us/privacy.

Applicable agencies

    The FTC enforces COPPA and has broad authority over unfair or deceptive practices affecting minors, including data collection from teenagers on financial platforms.
