This provision establishes Palantir's stated age threshold of 16 years for website use, which exceeds COPPA's 13-year statutory threshold, and provides a deletion mechanism for parental notification of inadvertent collection.
The updated Privacy Statement now authorizes Palantir to disclose personal data to promotional code partners who may then contact you if you sign up for a Palantir service using their code. This establishes a new third-party contact pathway not previously disclosed in the policy. The terms do not specify how frequently partners may contact you, what data is included in the disclosure, or whether you can opt out of partner contact after signing up.

"Our websites are not intended for children under 16 years of age. If you become aware that your child has provided us with personal data without your consent, please contact us at privacy@palantir.com and we will work to delete it. We do not knowingly collect personal information (including as defined by the U.S. Children's Privacy Protection Act, or 'COPPA') from children under 16.Excerpt from Palantir's Privacy Statement
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages COPPA, which establishes requirements for websites and online services directed to children under 13. The document's election of a 16-year threshold also engages GDPR Article 8, which sets a default digital consent age of 16 for information society services (with member state variation down to 13). The FTC is the primary COPPA enforcement authority. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. The 16-year threshold exceeds COPPA's 13-year minimum, providing a broader protective perimeter. Governance exposure arises primarily from enforcement of age gate mechanisms and detection procedures for inadvertent minor data collection. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: US federal COPPA jurisdiction applies to online services directed to children under 13. GDPR Article 8 applies to EEA residents using information society services, with member state variation in the age threshold between 13 and 16. The document's 16-year threshold is consistent with the GDPR default. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Service providers and partners hosting Palantir content or co-branded events should confirm that their own age verification and minor data collection practices are consistent with the 16-year threshold disclosed in this statement. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether technical and procedural age gate mechanisms are implemented to detect and prevent collection from under-16 users, and whether deletion procedures are operationally documented for parental notification scenarios.
