You must be at least 13 years old to use Ideogram, and if you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to the Terms on your behalf.
Minors under 13 are prohibited from using Ideogram, and teens aged 13-17 require verified parental consent — without robust age verification, underage users may access the platform and have their data and generated content processed without adequate legal safeguards.

Compare across platforms →Ideogram's AI can generate a wide range of content, and the age restriction — and requirement for parental consent for under-18 users — is a critical safeguard, but the platform currently relies on self-reporting with no documented age verification mechanism.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly engages COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.), enforced by the FTC, which prohibits collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. The FTC's COPPA Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 312) requires operators to implement reasonable procedures to verify user age. For 13-17 users, additional protections apply under various state laws including California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AB 2273) and the UK's Children's Code (ICO). GDPR Art. 8 requires member state age verification for digital services consent, with the threshold varying by member state (13-16 years). Canada's PIPEDA and provincial laws impose similar requirements.
