ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a categorical prohibition on data collection and sale for minors under 16, which aligns with the CCPA's prohibition on selling personal information of minors under 16 without affirmative authorization. No mechanism is described for age verification or for addressing cases where a minor's data may have been collected without Experian's knowledge.

⚠

Interpretive note: The notice does not describe the operational mechanisms used to identify and exclude minors from data collection and sale, creating uncertainty about how reliably this commitment is implemented given Experian's broad third-party data sourcing.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this provision, Experian asserts that it does not collect, sell, share, or disclose personal information of individuals under 16. The notice does not describe the technical or procedural mechanisms used to identify and exclude minors from data collection.
