Account & Service Control · Context
Special protections cover users under 18
Kimi says its products and services are primarily intended for adults aged 18 or older, but this policy sets special personal-information protections for users under 18. It addresses their guardians as “you.” Kimi also says it cannot accurately identify minors during registration or use; it promises special measures when it learns a user is a minor.

Kimi's products and services (our "products and services") are primarily intended for adults aged 18 or above. This Policy explains the personal information protection policy that we have specifically formulated and implemented for users under the age of 18 ("minors" or "your ward(s)"). As a minor's guardian ("you"), you may use this Policy to clearly understand how we collect, use, store, and share your ward's personal information, as well as the rights enjoyed by minors and their guardians. We will take special measures to protect minors' personal information in accordance with this Policy.
Please be aware that, due to limitations of technical means and legal provisions, we cannot accurately identify minors during registration and use.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception
Guardian consent is required for a minor to use Kimi
Guardians should read, understand and agree to the policy before guiding a minor to use Kimi. Kimi says it verifies guardian authorization and consent by reference to good industry practices and processes minors’ information on that consent basis unless laws or regulations expressly require otherwise. Refusing agreement means the minor is not permitted to use the products or services. Kimi acknowledges separately that it cannot accurately identify minors during registration and use.

Kimi cannot accurately identify every minor
Kimi says technical and legal limitations prevent accurate identification of minors during registration and use. If it learns a user is a minor, it promises special information-protection measures under this policy and legal requirements. This is a conditional commitment, not a statement that every minor is detected.
