REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501-6506) enforced by the FTC, which requires verifiable parental consent for collection of personal information from children under 13. Databricks' 16-year threshold exceeds COPPA's 13-year standard but aligns with GDPR Art. 8 (which sets 16 as the default age for digital services consent in the EU, reducible to 13 by member states). UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code, ICO) applies to services likely accessed by under-18s. California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AB 2273, effective 2024) may apply if Databricks' platform is accessible to minors.
