This provision operationalizes Yelp's compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which restricts collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. The provision establishes the service boundary and notification procedure for potential violations.
Users under 13 are not the intended audience for the service, and the terms specify that Yelp does not intentionally collect their personal information. Parents or guardians who believe personal information has been collected from a child under 13 may report this through the designated email contact.
