ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes both an intended-audience restriction and a data collection prohibition with respect to children under 16, limiting Heap's permissible engagement with that age group.

Interpretive note: The excerpt contains two independent legal propositions. The canonical claim states the primary one (intended audience restriction) but both are closely linked and recorded here.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Children under 16 are not the intended audience for Heap's services, and Heap will not knowingly solicit or collect their personal information.
