"Children's Privacy Policy— Excerpt from Max's HBO Max Terms of Use (Legacy)
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: A dedicated Children's Privacy Policy engages COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), enforced by the FTC, which applies to operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13, or with actual knowledge of collecting personal information from children under 13. EU equivalents under GDPR Article 8 and the UK Children's Code may also apply depending on regional service delivery. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The presence of a Children's Privacy Policy indicates formal acknowledgment of COPPA obligations, but compliance with verifiable parental consent requirements, data minimization, and retention limits cannot be assessed without the full document. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: U.S. federal COPPA obligations apply to users under 13. In the EU/EEA, GDPR Article 8 sets age of consent thresholds (16 years, or lower where member states have lowered it) for processing children's personal data. The UK Age Appropriate Design Code imposes additional obligations for services likely to be accessed by minors under 18. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Vendor and partner agreements should be reviewed to ensure that third-party data sharing and advertising practices are consistent with the Children's Privacy Policy, particularly regarding behavioral advertising directed at minors, which is restricted under COPPA and the FTC's enforcement guidance. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should retrieve and review the full Children's Privacy Policy to assess parental consent mechanisms, data categories collected from minors, retention schedules, and whether the policy distinguishes between different age cohorts as required under applicable law across Max's operating jurisdictions.
