Disney's services are popular with children, and the collection of date of birth and other personal details from minors is subject to COPPA in the US, which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from users under 13.

Disney+ now explicitly discloses that it collects and processes personal information not only when you use its digital services, but also when you visit Disney physical properties like theme parks, stores, resorts, and cruise ships, or call Disney guest centers.

You can review Disney+'s expanded privacy policy to understand what specific information is collected in physical properties and offline channels, and consider which data collection touchpoints apply to your use of Disney services.
