Groq's services are not for children under 13, and if Groq accidentally collects data from a child under 13, it will delete it.
Parents should be aware that Groq's AI tools are not designed for children under 13, but there is no description of active age verification mechanisms — meaning a minor could potentially access the service and have their data collected before any deletion action is taken.

Compare across platforms →This provision is a standard COPPA compliance statement, but it does not describe what age verification measures Groq uses to prevent children from accessing its AI services, which is a growing regulatory concern for AI platforms.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision is designed to comply with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §§6501-6506, 16 C.F.R. Part 312), enforced by the FTC, which prohibits collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. The EU's GDPR Art. 8 sets the digital age of consent at 16 (with member state flexibility down to 13), and UK GDPR/Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code) imposes design-level protections for services likely to be accessed by minors.
