Children under 13 cannot use Replit, and users aged 13-17 must have parental consent. If Replit discovers a user is under 13, it will delete their account and data.
Minor users aged 13-17 may use Replit only with parental consent, and any personal data collected from users discovered to be under 13 will be deleted — but the burden of verifying age appears to rest primarily on users rather than the platform.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly engages COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.) and its implementing regulations (16 C.F.R. Part 312), enforced by the FTC. COPPA requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. The UK Age Appropriate Design Code (AADC) imposes additional design requirements for services likely to be accessed by children under 18. California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AB 2273) imposes similar requirements for online services likely to be accessed by minors.
