Headspace requires users to be of a minimum age (typically 13 or older) and may require parental consent for younger users accessing certain services.
Parents should be aware that minors using Headspace may have their health and wellness data collected, which is subject to additional legal protections.
Age gating and minors' data handling implicate COPPA (under-13), state minors' privacy laws, and GDPR Article 8 (age of digital consent varies by member state); the platform's telehealth services for minors may also require additional parental consent mechanisms under HIPAA and state law.

Headspace collects sensitive mental health and wellness data and processes it under multiple privacy regimes including GDPR and US state consumer health data laws. Users are bound by mandatory arbitration and waive class-action rights, limiting legal recourse if something goes wrong. You can opt out of arbitration by sending written notice to Headspace within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms.
