This provision establishes OpenAI's compliance framework with children's privacy regulations, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). By restricting service access to users 13 and above and implementing data deletion procedures upon discovery of underage users, the provision establishes operational safeguards for handling personal data from protected age groups.
Users under 13 are required to discontinue use of OpenAI's services under these terms. If a user under 13 provides personal data to OpenAI, the terms authorize OpenAI to delete that information upon discovery, which may result in loss of service access or account data.
