"Our services are not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.— Excerpt from Databricks's Databricks Privacy Notice
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The 16-year threshold aligns with CPRA's protections for minors and several state privacy laws. The federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act applies to children under 13 for covered online services and is enforced by the FTC. GDPR sets a default age of digital consent at 16 (with member state variation down to 13) for information society services. The stated age threshold of 16 satisfies both federal COPPA (which is lower) and CPRA. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. Databricks' services are directed at enterprise and professional users, making incidental collection from minors unlikely. The 16-year threshold and deletion commitment are appropriate disclosures. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU member states may have digital age of consent at 13 to 16 depending on national implementation, but the notice's 16-year threshold satisfies the highest standard. Illinois and other states with minor-specific protections do not create heightened exposure for a professional enterprise software company. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: No specific vendor or contract implications beyond standard age verification considerations for web services. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that no Databricks web properties or marketing activities are directed at users under 16 and that intake forms or registration flows do not collect birth dates or other information enabling identification of underage users.
