Age and minors
- Minimum age
- 18+ myanima.ai
Note
ToS 3.3: 'The Service is not intended to be used by individuals under age of 18.' Privacy Policy section 7: 'We do not knowingly process personal data from persons under 18'. The Privacy Policy also says 'you are over 16 years of age (or have had your parent or guardian read and agree)', which conflicts. - Age check

Note
ToS 3.3: 'You hereby represent and warrant ... that you meet the foregoing qualification.' No age check is described. - Under-18 policy
- Service 'not intended' for under-18s, yet ToS 3.3 lets minors use it with parental permission and supervision myanima.ai
Note
ToS 3.3: 'All users who are minors in the jurisdiction in which they reside (generally under the age of 18) must have the permission of, and be directly supervised by, their parent or guardian.' The Privacy Policy (myanima.ai/legal/privacy) says users must be 'over 16 years of age (or have had your parent or guardian read and agree)'. The ToS says the service is 'not intended' for under-18s. The two documents disagree.

GetHoney's own content policy was not reviewed.
