ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause establishes OpenSea's operational compliance framework with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which regulates the collection and use of personal information from children under 13. The provision documents the service's age targeting restrictions and the procedural steps for account remediation upon discovery of underage user activity.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users under 13 are not the intended audience for the service, and any personally identifiable information collected from users in this age group is subject to removal. If OpenSea identifies account activity by a user under 13, the terms authorize termination of that account and deletion of associated personal information.
