This provision establishes Rumble's COPPA compliance posture through a prohibition and disclaimer structure rather than an affirmative age verification mechanism, placing responsibility for compliance on user self-attestation.
The agreement prohibits use by persons under 13 and disclaims knowing data collection from that age group, but the enforcement mechanism relies on user self-attestation rather than verified parental consent or technical age verification.

"The Rumble Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not use the Rumble Services. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 13, please contact us at privacy@rumble.com. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.— Excerpt from Rumble's Rumble Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly implicates COPPA, enforced by the FTC, which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. The disclaimer-based approach may require evaluation under FTC COPPA enforcement guidance, which addresses the adequacy of age-gating mechanisms on general audience platforms. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The FTC has taken enforcement action against platforms that relied on user self-attestation without affirmative age verification in contexts where the platform had actual or constructive knowledge of underage users. The adequacy of Rumble's age-gating mechanism relative to FTC COPPA enforcement standards is a compliance risk area. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: In addition to COPPA in the US, EU member states have implemented age-appropriate design requirements under the GDPR and national implementing legislation that may impose additional obligations on platforms accessible to minors. The UK's Age Appropriate Design Code imposes design-level requirements for services likely to be accessed by children. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Advertisers and analytics vendors operating on the Rumble platform should assess whether their data collection practices are compatible with COPPA obligations and whether contractual representations regarding underage user data are adequate. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and compliance teams should assess whether the platform's age-gating mechanism constitutes adequate COPPA compliance under current FTC enforcement posture, and whether additional technical or procedural controls are warranted to limit data collection from users who may be under 13.
