StockX does not intentionally collect data from children under 13 and states it will delete such data if discovered, but the policy does not address users between 13 and 18 in depth.
This analysis describes what StockX'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
While COPPA compliance is addressed for under-13 users, the policy's handling of teen users between 13 and 17 who may be buying or selling on the platform is less clearly specified, which matters given the platform's appeal to younger sneaker and streetwear collectors.
Interpretive note: The complete minors-related policy language was not fully visible in the rendered document; the provision reflects standard COPPA disclosure language inferred from partial text and the absence of visible teen-specific protections.
Parents should be aware that StockX's stated policy excludes under-13 users but does not appear to impose specific data protection enhancements for teenagers aged 13 to 17, who may be subject to the same broad data collection and advertising sharing practices as adult users.

"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 that information.— Excerpt from StockX's StockX Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13, enforced by the FTC. The California Age-Appropriate Design Code (AADC), effective 2024, imposes additional obligations for platforms likely to be accessed by minors under 18, including data minimization and default privacy settings. Several other states have enacted or are considering similar minors-focused privacy legislation. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy's COPPA disclosure is standard and expected. However, given the platform's strong appeal to teenage sneaker and streetwear consumers, the absence of specific protections or disclosures for users aged 13 to 17 creates potential exposure under the California AADC and similar emerging frameworks. The FTC has also signaled increased scrutiny of platforms that nominally restrict under-13 use while conducting broad behavioral advertising with teen-adjacent audiences. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California AADC applies to platforms likely accessed by minors under 18 and may require a Data Protection Impact Assessment and default high-privacy settings for this audience. Texas and other states have enacted or are considering analogous minors-focused privacy protections. COPPA applies federally for under-13 users. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: If any advertising partners are permitted to use data from teen users for behavioral advertising, those arrangements should be reviewed against AADC and FTC guidance on marketing to minors. Advertising network contracts should specify restrictions on profiling users believed to be minors. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Teams should evaluate whether age verification mechanisms are sufficient to prevent under-13 registration, whether the California AADC obligations have been assessed and implemented for likely minor users, and whether advertising targeting parameters exclude users identified or estimated to be minors.
