"Gemini is not intended for children under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information of children under the age of 18. If we learn that we have collected any Personal Information from a child under the age of 18, we will promptly delete it from our systems.— Excerpt from Gemini's Gemini Privacy Policy
The under-18 prohibition engages COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) compliance obligations; if Gemini has collected data from users under 13, it faces significant FTC enforcement exposure. The policy's broad prohibition on under-18 users goes beyond COPPA's under-13 threshold, which is a conservative compliance posture.
