The policy states that Rumble's services are not directed at children under 13 and that the platform does not knowingly collect personal information from users under 13, with a commitment to delete such information if identified.

This provision establishes Rumble's stated COPPA compliance posture; the adequacy of the platform's age verification or screening mechanisms to support this assertion is an operational compliance consideration given the nature of the video-sharing platform and its potentially broad user base.
Interpretive note: The operational adequacy of Rumble's age verification or screening practices to support the 'knowingly' standard is not described in the policy and cannot be assessed from the document text alone.
Under this clause, users under 13 are excluded from the service, and the policy commits to deleting personal data collected from users identified as under 13; parents or guardians who believe a child's data has been collected may contact Rumble to request deletion.

"Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible.— Excerpt from Rumble's Rumble Privacy Policy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), enforced by the FTC, prohibits collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. The policy's 'knowingly' qualifier is consistent with COPPA's knowledge-based standard, but the FTC has pursued enforcement actions against platforms where constructive knowledge of child users could be demonstrated. CCPA also includes heightened protections for minors under 16. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The 'knowingly' standard provides a legally recognized threshold but does not insulate the platform from enforcement if the FTC determines that the platform had constructive knowledge of child users or failed to implement reasonable age-screening measures. CCPA's opt-in requirement for sale of personal information of minors aged 13 to 15 creates an additional compliance layer. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: COPPA applies to U.S. users and is enforced by the FTC. The UK Age Appropriate Design Code (AADC) may apply if UK users under 18 access the platform. EU GDPR sets the digital age of consent between 13 and 16 depending on member state, which is relevant if EU minors access Rumble. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party advertising and analytics partners should be contractually restricted from using data that may be associated with users under 13 for targeted advertising purposes, consistent with COPPA requirements. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether Rumble's platform characteristics, user demographics, and content categories create constructive knowledge of child users that would trigger heightened COPPA obligations beyond the 'knowing' standard. Age verification or screening mechanism documentation should be reviewed and maintained.
