The provision establishes a dual threshold (under 13 or under the applicable local consent age) that references jurisdiction-specific standards without detailing verification mechanisms, which is relevant to COPPA compliance in the US and GDPR Article 8 age consent requirements in the EU (16 or lower national variation) and UK (13).
Interpretive note: The policy does not describe proactive age verification mechanisms, leaving compliance with COPPA and GDPR Article 8 procedural requirements dependent on internal practices not disclosed in the document.
The updated footer no longer includes a direct link to the 'Do not Sell or Share My Personal Data' page. Previously, this link provided quick access to California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) opt-out controls from the footer menu. Users can likely still access these controls through the main Privacy Policy page or dedicated privacy settings, but the removal eliminates a prominent, footer-based navigation shortcut. You should verify whether this opt-out functionality remains accessible through other menu locations or settings.
