Microsoft
· Microsoft Privacy Statement (Legacy)
The statement authorizes use of collected personal data including browsing behavior and interests for targeted advertising across Microsoft platforms and potentially on third-party platforms, which is a material data use that consumers may wish to limit through available opt-out controls.
Interest-based advertising means your activity across Microsoft services, including search, browsing, and product use, may be used to build a profile for ad targeting, and you should be aware of how to opt out if you prefer not to receive personalized ads.
Oura
· Oura Privacy Policy
This provision authorizes advertising-related data processing on behalf of third-party partners in addition to Oura itself, with the details of those partner relationships and data flows deferred to a separate Cookie Policy. The scope of partner advertising data sharing may require evaluation under CPRA's opt-out-of-sharing requirements and GDPR's legitimate interest or consent requirements for behavioral advertising.
Your personal data may follow you across the internet through advertising partnerships. The opt-out right is meaningful but requires you to actively submit a request.
The provision operationalizes user control over a specific category of data processing activity—advertising-related data sharing with non-Salesforce entities. It establishes that advertising data sharing occurs as a standard practice unless the user exercises the available opt-out mechanism.
This provision establishes a basis for personal information disclosure to third-party advertising entities without identifying those entities by name, which may require evaluation against GDPR Article 13 transparency obligations and CCPA disclosure requirements for categories of third parties receiving data.
Hinge
· Hinge Privacy Policy
Targeted advertising on a dating app draws on highly personal data including your interests, preferences, and platform behavior, and the policy asserts legitimate interest as a sufficient legal basis in many jurisdictions rather than requiring your consent.
Without opting out, affiliated Bank of America companies such as Merrill Lynch or other subsidiaries may use your banking data to target you with marketing for their own products.
This provision establishes operational content moderation standards for the platform. The restriction defines prohibited content categories and creates a baseline requirement for user-generated submissions across Minecraft environments.

The terms permit users as young as 13 to access the service with parental consent, which engages COPPA obligations regarding data collection from users under 13 and creates parental responsibility for minor users' compliance with the full terms.
Spotify
· Spotify Terms and Conditions
The provision creates a contractual gatekeeping mechanism that conditions service access on age verification and, for minors, parental consent documentation. It establishes the primary account holder as the responsible party for minors accessing the service and assigns the account holder fiduciary responsibility for compliance with age requirements.
The 13-year minimum age threshold and reference to jurisdiction-specific age assurance processes indicate Bluesky's engagement with child safety regulations, but the terms do not specify the age assurance methods used, which may be relevant to parents and regulators.
The age restriction creates an eligibility condition for service purchase and establishes legal capacity requirements. The use restriction clause defines the permitted scope of service consumption and excludes commercial and organizational use, which governs how the service may be deployed.
Subscriptions purchased by minors may be voidable, and using a Disney+ account for commercial or group purposes violates the terms and could result in account termination.
Calm
· Calm Terms of Service
The 16-year minimum threshold is lower than the 13-year COPPA threshold in the US but may interact with stricter age requirements under GDPR, which sets a default age of digital consent at 16 (with member state variation between 13 and 16), and with the UK Age Appropriate Design Code.
The minimum age requirement and parental consent obligation for minors are directly relevant to COPPA compliance in the United States and equivalent child protection frameworks in other jurisdictions.
Age restrictions are central to Snapchat's compliance with COPPA in the US and similar children's privacy laws globally, and the adequacy of Snap's age verification mechanisms has been a subject of regulatory scrutiny.
The 13-year minimum age engages U.S. COPPA requirements for services that may be accessed by children, but the document does not describe any age verification mechanism, which may create compliance gaps.
The mechanism for parental consent is not further specified in the visible document text, which raises questions about whether any affirmative verification occurs or whether parents are simply expected to oversee their children's use.
Google
· Google Terms of Service
The terms place responsibility for a minor's use of Google services on the parent or legal guardian who permits that use. The minimum age varies by country and is not specified as a single global threshold in this excerpt.
Runway
· Runway Terms of Service
The clause establishes a contractual precondition for service access and allocates responsibility for compliance verification to the user at the point of acceptance. It creates a parental consent requirement for minors that operates as a condition of the service agreement's enforceability.
The agreement sets a minimum age of 13 and defers to each country's digital consent age, but relies on self-attestation for compliance; parents who permit minors to use the service accept contractual liability for the minor's activity.
This provision makes parents or legal guardians who enable a child's access to the Service contractually bound by and responsible under these Terms for their child's activity, including content uploaded and conduct on the platform. The agreement incorporates COPPA-relevant structures by conditioning under-13 access on parental enablement.
Age requirements in digital service terms are tied to legal protections for minors under federal and state law. If a child under the minimum age is using McDonald's digital services, the family should review and potentially restrict that access.
The provision establishes minimum age thresholds consistent with COPPA (US) and GDPR Article 8 (EU), but relies on user self-representation rather than active age verification, which may be insufficient to satisfy regulatory requirements in some jurisdictions.
This provision establishes a hard age gate at 18 years, which is operationally significant given the platform's capacity to generate content including mature or explicit imagery in designated areas. The enforcement mechanism for this restriction is not described in detail within the ToS.
The 18+ requirement and age verification process directly affect the type of personal data collected during onboarding, including biometric-adjacent selfie data, and create legal obligations around age assurance under UK and EU regulations.
Lime
· Lime Terms of Service
Minors who use the service in violation of this age restriction do so outside the contract's terms, which may affect their legal protections and the enforceability of parental liability under applicable law.
This provision establishes Nintendo's COPPA compliance posture for the main websites and places responsibility on parents to monitor and report unauthorized child data collection.
Children's data is subject to heightened legal protections under COPPA in the US, and the policy's reliance on a self-declaration model means the enforcement of this restriction depends primarily on users accurately reporting their age.
