This provision establishes Verizon's operational compliance framework with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which requires parental notification and consent prior to collection of personal information from children under 13. The deletion requirement creates a remedial procedure when non-consensual collection occurs.
Parents of children under 13 are required to provide consent before Verizon collects personal information from those children. If Verizon collects such information without parental consent and subsequently learns of the collection, the company is obligated to delete that personal information.
