REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implicates COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501–§6508) and the FTC's COPPA Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 312), which prohibit online collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. The FTC is the primary enforcement authority. California's CCPA/CPRA includes heightened protections for consumers under 16 (§1798.120), requiring opt-in consent for sale of data of 13-15 year olds and parental opt-in for under-13. The UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code, ICO) applies to UK services likely to be accessed by under-18 users.
