What it is

The document states that Marqeta's website services are not directed at individuals under 16, that Marqeta does not intentionally collect personal data from this age group, and that any such data discovered will be promptly deleted. The age threshold of 16 is higher than the COPPA threshold of 13.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The document sets the age threshold for children's data protection at 16, which aligns with GDPR Article 8's default age of digital consent in the absence of member state modification, and exceeds the COPPA threshold of 13 applicable in the United States. The CCPA supplemental notice separately confirms that Marqeta does not disclose personal information of individuals under 16 for monetary or other valuable consideration.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Under this provision, parents or guardians who believe a child under 16 has provided personal data to Marqeta can contact privacy@marqeta.com or call (877) 962-7738 to request deletion of that data. The policy states that Marqeta will promptly delete such data upon discovery.
