Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

COPPA imposes strict obligations on services that collect data from children under 13; inadequate age-gating mechanisms can result in significant FTC fines and mandatory operational changes.

View original clause language
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not use the Service. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from your child without your consent, please contact us at privacy@nbcuni.com and we will use reasonable efforts to delete that information from our records.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly engages the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq.) and its implementing rule (16 C.F.R. Part 312), enforced by the FTC. COPPA requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13, prohibits targeting advertising at children under 13, and mandates data minimization and deletion upon parental request. California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (Cal. AB 2273) imposes additional obligations for services likely to be accessed by minors under 18. The UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code) applies to UK operations. (2)
