Peloton does not allow children under 13 to use its services and will delete their data if discovered — but the terms do not describe any active verification mechanism to enforce this restriction.
If a child under 13 uses a family Peloton account, their workout data and personal information may be collected without the parental consent required by law — and parents may not be aware this is occurring until they review account settings.

Compare across platforms →Without active age verification, the COPPA prohibition on collecting data from under-13 users depends entirely on self-reporting, which is a commonly exploited gap that has resulted in FTC enforcement actions against fitness and social platforms.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implicates COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501-6506) and its implementing regulations at 16 C.F.R. Part 312, enforced by the FTC. COPPA requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13, and the FTC has made children's privacy enforcement a priority. Additionally, GDPR Art. 8 and UK GDPR (Age Appropriate Design Code / Children's Code) establish digital age of consent and design standards for services likely to be accessed by children.
