This provision operationalizes Microsoft's compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which imposes specific requirements for services directed to or knowingly collecting data from children under 13. The Family Safety account mechanism creates a procedural framework for parental authorization and oversight.
Users under 13 are directed not to use Microsoft consumer products directly. Parents seeking to permit child use must initiate and maintain parental control settings through the Family Safety account creation process rather than allowing independent account setup.
