WHOOP's service is only for people 18 and older, and WHOOP states it will delete data from any user found to be under 18.
This analysis describes what Whoop'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
This restriction is particularly relevant given that WHOOP collects continuous biometric health data; ensuring minors are excluded from this collection is important under COPPA and similar laws, though enforcement depends on age verification mechanisms at signup.
Interpretive note: The document does not describe an age verification mechanism beyond self-declaration, and enforcement of the 18-year restriction in practice depends on mechanisms not disclosed in the Terms of Use.
If you are under 18 or have a family member under 18 using WHOOP, their account and associated biometric data may be subject to deletion, and the service is contractually unavailable to minors.

"The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are under 18, you may not use the Service. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a person under 18 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information.— Excerpt from Whoop's Whoop Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) applies to online services directed to children under 13 and requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from that age group; enforcement is by the FTC. The document sets an 18-year age threshold, which goes beyond COPPA's 13-year threshold, but the document does not describe any age verification mechanism beyond a self-declaration, which may be insufficient to satisfy COPPA's actual knowledge standard if the service is accessible to minors in practice. GDPR Article 8 sets the digital consent age at 16 in most EU member states (with national variations), and the document's 18-year threshold may create inconsistency with EU requirements in some jurisdictions. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The 18-year age restriction is a higher bar than COPPA requires, but the absence of a described age verification mechanism creates enforcement exposure if minors access the service. Given that WHOOP markets family plans and fitness tracking, the risk of minor access is non-trivial and should be assessed. JURISDICTION FLAGS: COPPA compliance requires more than a statement of age restriction; the FTC has taken enforcement action against companies that fail to implement adequate age screening mechanisms. EU member states have varying digital consent ages under GDPR Article 8, and some set the threshold below 18, meaning the document's restriction may be more conservative than required but should be consistently applied. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Family plan offerings create heightened exposure for minor access; WHOOP's family plan terms should be reviewed to ensure that sub-accounts under a family plan cannot be created for users under 18 without adequate parental consent mechanisms. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether WHOOP's account creation flow includes any age verification beyond self-declaration, and whether parental consent mechanisms are in place for any family plan accounts that may be used by minors. The data deletion process for identified minor accounts should be documented and tested for COPPA compliance.
