The policy establishes an age-based restriction on data collection consistent with COPPA in the US; the restriction applies to services not directed at children, but does not address the full range of minors' privacy protections under GDPR Article 8 or state laws that apply to users under 16 or 18.
Interpretive note: The policy's under-13 threshold may not satisfy GDPR Article 8 requirements in EU member states that have set the age of digital consent at 14, 15, or 16, creating jurisdiction-dependent compliance gaps.
The updated Privacy Policy removes all disclosure language about how NVIDIA and third-party partners use cookies and other tracking technologies. Previously, the policy stated that cookies were used 'to collect and record information' for 'performance improvement, analytics, and to assist in our marketing efforts' and described consent mechanisms like 'Accept All' and 'Manage Settings'. The updated policy contains no equivalent disclosure of these tracking practices, data collection methods, or consent options. You can review NVIDIA's full Privacy Policy at their Privacy Center, though the updated version no longer describes cookie and tracking technology practices that were previously disclosed.
