This provision operationalizes Pinterest's compliance obligation under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which requires services to implement age-gating mechanisms and parental consent procedures before collecting data from children under 13. The clause establishes the legal framework under which Pinterest restricts user eligibility and governs data collection practices for minors.
Users under 13 are not permitted to create or maintain accounts on the platform. Parents or guardians who discover that a minor has registered or provided personal information without consent are directed to contact Pinterest to request information removal.

"The Services are not directed to children under 13. If you learn that your minor child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us.
