If a minor uses Wix without parental knowledge, any data collected may be subject to enhanced deletion obligations, but the burden of identifying and reporting the account falls largely on the parent or guardian.
Wix's services are not designed for children under 13 or 16, and parents who discover a child has created a Wix account should contact Wix to request data deletion, as Wix commits to removing such data upon notification.

"Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under the age of 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or 16 in applicable jurisdictions). If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.— Excerpt from Wix's Wix Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the US, which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal data from children under 13, enforced by the FTC. In the EU, GDPR Article 8 sets the consent age at 16 by default, with member states permitted to lower it to 13; the policy's reference to 16 in certain jurisdictions reflects this variance. The UK GDPR and the Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code) impose additional obligations for services likely to be accessed by children. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Wix's services are general-purpose and not primarily directed at children, reducing direct COPPA exposure. However, the open-access nature of website-building tools and the ability to create publicly visible websites means minors may use the platform, and any operator-created sites targeting minors would create independent COPPA obligations for those Wix business users. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: US operators using Wix to build sites targeting children under 13 face direct COPPA obligations. EU member states with a minimum age below 16 may affect the threshold applicable to EU child users. UK operators building sites likely to be accessed by children must comply with the ICO's Children's Code regardless of Wix's own age threshold. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Businesses using Wix to operate services directed at or likely to attract minors should assess whether Wix's data processing practices are compatible with COPPA and GDPR Article 8 obligations, and whether a specific DPA addendum addressing child data is required. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations operating Wix-hosted sites that may attract minors should implement age-gate mechanisms, review their own COPPA compliance posture, and confirm that any data collected from users identified as minors is handled in accordance with applicable law, including notification to Wix as data processor.
