"Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.Excerpt from Midjourney's Privacy Policy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), enforced by the FTC, which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal data from children under 13. The policy's statement that it does not knowingly collect such data is consistent with COPPA's knowledge standard. EEA and UK users under 16 (or the applicable national age threshold) may also require parental consent under GDPR. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. The provision tracks standard COPPA compliance language. The policy does not describe what age verification mechanisms, if any, are implemented to prevent under-13 access, which may be relevant to COPPA enforcement context. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: COPPA applies federally in the United States. EU member states have varying age thresholds for digital consent under GDPR (13 to 16 depending on jurisdiction). The UK GDPR sets the threshold at 13. The policy's single age-13 threshold may not fully address the range of applicable national thresholds in EEA member states. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Platform operators or developers integrating Midjourney into products potentially accessible to minors should assess whether additional age verification mechanisms are required. The policy does not describe technical measures to prevent minor access. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should evaluate whether the policy's age restriction is supported by adequate technical age verification measures. For deployments in jurisdictions with age thresholds above 13 under GDPR, the policy's single threshold may require supplemental controls.
