Supabase's services are not intended for children, and the policy includes a children's privacy section. Specific age thresholds and restrictions are referenced but not fully reproduced in the available document text.
This analysis describes what Supabase'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
A clear restriction on children's use is required under COPPA for US-based services and equivalent laws in the EU (GDPR) and UK (Children's Code), and its presence indicates Supabase has considered age-related compliance obligations.
Interpretive note: The document was truncated before the full children's privacy section could be reviewed, so the specific age threshold, enforcement mechanism, and scope of the restriction cannot be confirmed from the available text.
Supabase's services appear to be restricted to users above a minimum age (typically 13 under COPPA), meaning the platform should not be used by or on behalf of children without appropriate safeguards.

"Children's privacy— Excerpt from Supabase's Supabase Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Children's privacy provisions implicate COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), which applies to online services directed at children under 13 or where the operator has actual knowledge of collecting data from children under 13, enforced by the FTC. GDPR Article 8 and UK GDPR set the age of digital consent at 16 (with member state flexibility down to 13). The UK ICO's Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code) applies to online services likely to be accessed by children. Relevant enforcement authorities include the FTC, EU supervisory authorities, and the UK ICO. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. As a developer-focused B2B platform, Supabase is unlikely to be primarily accessed by children. However, where Supabase is used to build consumer-facing applications accessed by minors, the enterprise customer bears responsibility for COPPA compliance in relation to their own application, not Supabase under this Notice. JURISDICTION FLAGS: US operations require COPPA compliance if children under 13 are known to use the service. EU and UK operations require compliance with GDPR Article 8 and the UK Children's Code respectively. Enterprise customers building applications that may be accessed by minors should implement independent age verification or assurance mechanisms. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers using Supabase to build applications for general audiences should assess whether their application could be accessed by minors and whether their own privacy notices and data handling practices comply with applicable children's privacy laws. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: The document was truncated before the full children's privacy section text was available, so a complete analysis of the specific age threshold and safeguards described cannot be confirmed. Legal teams should review the full children's privacy section of the current policy to verify it meets COPPA, GDPR Article 8, and UK Children's Code requirements.
