Discord's age restriction is enforced primarily through self-reported age at registration, which means the practical protection depends on users being truthful; parents concerned about a minor's Discord account should know the policy provides a deletion pathway.
Interpretive note: The policy does not describe the technical mechanisms used to detect or prevent under-13 registration, and the adequacy of self-reported age as a COPPA compliance mechanism has been subject to regulatory scrutiny.
The policy states Discord collects a wide range of personal data including messages, media, voice and video content, device identifiers, IP addresses, payment details, and behavioral activity, and authorizes use of this data for targeted advertising, analytics, and product improvement. The terms permit sharing of personal data with third-party advertising, analytics, safety, and infrastructure partners, and disclose that data may be transferred or disclosed in the event of a corporate merger, acquisition, or asset sale. You can review and adjust privacy settings in your Discord account, and submit data access or deletion requests by emailing privacy@discord.com or using the in-app request tools.
