Noom is only for people 18 and older. Anyone under 18 is prohibited from using the service, and Noom commits to deleting data if it discovers it has been collected from a child under 13.
If a minor uses Noom by misrepresenting their age, Noom's Terms place no liability on Noom for any resulting harm — and parents should be aware that no age verification mechanism is disclosed beyond a self-certified checkbox.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq. and 16 CFR Part 312), which prohibits collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent — enforced by the FTC. The Terms' reference to deleting data for under-13 users reflects COPPA compliance intent. GDPR Art. 8 sets the age of digital consent at 16 (with Member State flexibility down to 13), requiring verifiable parental consent for minors; the Terms' blanket 18+ requirement is more restrictive than GDPR's minimum but does not address 13-17 year olds in the EU context. California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AADC, AB 2273) imposes additional obligations for platforms likely to be accessed by minors.
