Cohere's services are not for children under 13, and if Cohere finds out it has collected data from a child under 13, it will delete that data.
Children under 13 are formally excluded from Cohere's services, but the policy does not describe any age verification mechanism, meaning the protection depends on parental oversight rather than technical controls.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: COPPA (15 U.S.C. §§6501-6506) prohibits collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent; enforced by the FTC. GDPR Art. 8 sets the digital consent age at 16 (or lower as permitted by member states, minimum 13) for EU/EEA users. UK GDPR and the Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code) impose additional design obligations for services likely accessed by children. (2)
