This provision engages GDPR Article 8 requirements for children's consent to digital services (age threshold of 16 in the policy, consistent with GDPR's maximum threshold) and COPPA's restrictions on collecting personal information from children under 13 in the US context. The policy does not describe a parental consent verification mechanism, which creates an operational gap relative to regulatory requirements for the stated parental consent exception.

Under this clause, users under 16 are prohibited from using the service unless parental consent is provided. The policy does not describe the mechanism by which parental consent is obtained or verified, and states that Tabnine does not knowingly collect data from users in this age group.
