You must be at least 13 to use Suno, and users under 18 need a parent or guardian's permission. Suno may ask for information to verify that parental consent has been given.
This analysis describes what Suno'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
These restrictions are legally required under U.S. federal law for platforms collecting data from children, and failing to comply could expose both minors and Suno to legal consequences.
Interpretive note: The parental consent verification process is not operationally defined in the Terms, and the adequacy of Suno's actual implementation cannot be assessed from this document alone.
Minors between 13 and 17 can use Suno only with documented parental consent, and the platform may request information to verify this. Users who create accounts without meeting these requirements may have their accounts terminated.

"You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Service only with the express consent of your parent or guardian, and you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information as requested by Suno to confirm such express consent.— Excerpt from Suno's Suno Terms of Service
1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The 13-year minimum age and parental consent requirements for under-18 users engage COPPA, enforced by the FTC, which applies to online platforms collecting personal data from children under 13. The terms' parental consent mechanism for 13-17 year olds goes beyond COPPA's strict requirements (which apply only under 13) and may reflect state-level obligations or internal policy. The EU's GDPR sets age of consent for data processing at 16 in most member states, with some setting it at 13-16, creating a potential gap for EU users aged 13-15. 2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The parental consent verification mechanism is described but not operationally defined in the Terms, and the adequacy of Suno's actual verification process is not assessable from this document. Inadequate age verification and consent collection for minors is a recurring FTC enforcement area. 3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU member states vary in the age of digital consent, ranging from 13 to 16 under GDPR Article 8, meaning Suno's 13-year minimum may be insufficient in countries such as Germany, France, or the Netherlands. UK GDPR sets the age of consent at 13 following the Age Appropriate Design Code. 4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Platforms or developers integrating Suno into services that may be accessed by minors should ensure their own COPPA and GDPR Article 8 compliance is not undermined by referencing Suno's ToS as a substitute for their own age verification obligations. 5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether Suno's parental consent verification mechanism meets COPPA's verifiable parental consent standard and whether the Voice Model feature, which involves biometric data collection, requires heightened consent procedures for minor users under applicable state biometric privacy laws.
