Rumble's platform is not intended for children under 13, and Rumble states it will delete personal information from under-13 users if discovered, but the terms do not describe a technical age verification mechanism.
This analysis describes what Rumble's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The absence of a described technical age verification process means the platform relies primarily on self-attestation, which is the subject of ongoing regulatory scrutiny regarding COPPA compliance for platforms accessible to minors.
Interpretive note: The document does not describe the technical measures used to enforce the age restriction, making it uncertain whether the stated policy meets COPPA's verifiable parental consent requirements in practice.
Parents and guardians should be aware that Rumble does not describe a robust technical mechanism to prevent children under 13 from accessing the platform, and that any personal information collected from a child under 13 should be reported to Rumble for deletion.

"The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the Service at any time or in any manner. If Rumble learns that personally identifiable information has been collected on the Service from persons under 13 years of age and without verifiable parental consent, then Rumble will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.— Excerpt from Rumble's Rumble Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), enforced by the FTC, which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. The FTC has enforcement authority and has issued significant penalties to platforms that inadequately enforce COPPA obligations. Additionally, the EU's GDPR and UK GDPR set the age of digital consent at 16 (with member state variation to as low as 13), and may impose additional obligations for platforms accessible to minors. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy states an intent to delete minor user data upon discovery but does not describe technical controls, age verification mechanisms, or parental consent workflows, which are central to COPPA compliance. This gap between stated policy and described implementation may create regulatory exposure if the FTC conducts an inquiry. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California's Age-Appropriate Design Code (AB 2273) imposes additional obligations on platforms likely to be accessed by minors, including data minimization and privacy-by-default requirements. EU member states' national implementations of GDPR Article 8 may impose consent age requirements and parental verification obligations. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Advertisers and brand partners on Rumble should assess their own COPPA obligations if their advertising may be shown to under-13 users and whether Rumble's age restriction mechanisms are adequate for compliance purposes. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should audit the technical and operational controls Rumble has in place to detect and respond to under-13 user accounts, verify that parental consent workflows exist where required, and assess compliance with California's Age-Appropriate Design Code for California-facing operations.
