Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Copy.ai's services are not for anyone under 16, and the company says it will delete any personal data belonging to children under 16 if notified.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If a child under 16 has used Copy.ai and provided personal data, parents or guardians can request deletion by emailing privacy@copy.ai — Copy.ai commits to deleting that data upon notification.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    If you are a parent or guardian and your child under 16 has used Copy.ai, email privacy@copy.ai with the child's account information and a request for data deletion. Copy.ai will delete the data upon verification.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

The 16-year-old age threshold is higher than COPPA's 13-year threshold but lower than GDPR's optional 16-year member-state threshold, creating a gap for teenagers aged 13-15 who may use the platform.

View original clause language
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@copy.ai and we will delete such information.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.; enforced by FTC) for users under 13, GDPR Art. 8 (child consent; minimum age 13-16 depending on member state), and CCPA/CPRA §1798.120(d) which prohibits sale of personal information of consumers under 16 without affirmative authorization. The policy sets 16 as the age threshold, which satisfies GDPR's maximum child age threshold but may still require age verification mechanisms.
