Meta
· Meta Terms of Service
The terms set a minimum age of 13 and require parental consent for minors, but the agreement does not describe technical age verification mechanisms, which may limit practical enforcement and create exposure under COPPA.
This provision establishes Pinterest's stated COPPA compliance position; parents or guardians who discover a child under 13 has created an account should contact Pinterest to request account removal and data deletion.
Bumble
· Bumble Terms and Conditions
The presence of active monitoring for underage users is a meaningful safety protection, though users should be aware that the method of detection is not fully specified.
Bumble
· Bumble Terms and Conditions
The age restriction and active monitoring for underage use engage COPPA and equivalent regulations, and the verification obligation creates data processing implications for users asked to confirm their age.
The minimum age of 18 in these jurisdictions is higher than the GDPR's default of 16 (or 13 in some member states), meaning Telegram applies a stricter standard, but enforcement depends entirely on user self-declaration.
This age restriction creates a clear eligibility requirement for users in named jurisdictions and may have implications for how Telegram handles age verification and data of minors who may have signed up before this rule was in place.
This provision establishes the minimum legal age for using OpenAI's AI products and creates parental consent obligations for minors, which affects families and any platform deploying OpenAI services to young users.
The age 13 minimum triggers COPPA compliance obligations for Hugging Face, but does not protect teenagers aged 13-17 under GDPR Article 8 (which sets the age of digital consent at 16 in many EU member states) or under various state laws that provide additional protections for minors.
Setting the minimum age at 16 rather than 13 reflects GDPR's default age of digital consent for several EU member states and reduces COPPA compliance risk, but it also means the platform has no mechanism for verified parental consent for 13-15 year olds who may access the service.
This provision directly triggers COPPA compliance obligations, meaning Redfin must have technical and policy measures in place to prevent children under 13 from accessing the platform and creating accounts.
This provision is significant for parents because it establishes that a parent or guardian must agree to the terms for minors to use the services, and it triggers obligations under children's privacy laws including COPPA and EU equivalents.
While minors have stronger protections, the prohibition on under-13 use may not be effectively enforced, creating legal exposure for Google and risk for children who access the service without adequate age verification.

Canva
· Canva Terms of Use
The agreement places responsibility on users to self-certify their age and on parents to supervise minor users, rather than implementing verified age-gating mechanisms; this structure may not satisfy COPPA's verifiable parental consent requirements if Canva knowingly collects personal information from children under 13.

If a minor under 13 uses Discord or a teenager uses it without parental consent, the user is in breach of the terms and Discord can terminate the account; parents should be aware that Discord is not designed or permitted for children under 13.

Pika
· Pika Terms of Service
The 13-year minimum age threshold means the platform may be used by teenagers, and parental consent obligations are stated but rely on user self-reporting with no described verification mechanism, which creates compliance exposure under COPPA.

· Microsoft Services Agreement (Legacy)
Parents should know that children who use Microsoft services without proper consent may have their accounts closed, and Microsoft collects data on all users including minors.
