Children under 13 cannot use Pika at all; users aged 13-17 can use basic features but cannot create AI Selves or monetize content, and need parental consent to agree to the terms.
Parents whose children use Pika between ages 13-17 are legally bound by these terms of service and responsible for their child's use of the platform, including any content uploaded or generated through the service, including voice and image data.

Compare across platforms →Allowing 13-year-olds to use a generative AI platform that collects voice and likeness data raises significant COPPA compliance obligations, and the AI Self age restriction of 18+ reflects the biometric and financial sensitivity of that feature.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates COPPA (15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.; 16 C.F.R. Part 312) which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13, enforced by the FTC; GDPR Art. 8 and national implementations setting digital age of consent between 13-16 in EU member states; UK Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code, ICO) requiring age-appropriate design for services likely accessed by under-18s; and California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (Cal. AB 2273) which imposes enhanced protections for minors under 18 on platforms likely to be accessed by children.
