What it is

Children under 13 are not allowed to use Paramount+ and the company will delete any personal data it collects from children under 13 if it discovers the account.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Parents should ensure children under 13 do not use Paramount+ without setting up appropriate parental controls and providing verifiable parental consent, as accounts found to belong to under-13 users may be suspended and their data deleted without warning.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

If a child under 13 uses your account or creates their own, their personal data may have been collected without the legally required parental consent, and the company may terminate or modify that account without notice.

View original clause language
THE SERVICE IS NOT DIRECTED TO CHILDREN UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, AND PARAMOUNT DOES NOT KNOWINGLY COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13. IF YOU ARE UNDER 13, PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER. IF WE LEARN THAT PERSONAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN COLLECTED ON THE SERVICE FROM A PERSON UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, AND WITHOUT VERIFIABLE PARENTAL CONSENT, WE WILL TAKE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO DELETE THIS INFORMATION.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

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.
