As your child engages with our community, we encourage you to monitor their activity within Zwift and promote best Internet practices.

If you don't already have a Zwift account for yourself as a parent/guardian - create one. You won't need to set up a paid membership as the purpose of this account is to monitor your child's activity in Zwift.

Additionally, we suggest following the tips below:

Avoid including your child's age in their username.

Make your child's profile private with the Zwift Companion (ZC) app, directions are available here.

Caution: If you don't set your child's account to private, other Zwifters will be able to view information regarding their age, height, weight, and activity in Zwift and can follow them to receive push notifications when they join the game.

Note: With the exception of messages from group ride leaders, our in-game chat feature is disabled for accounts associated with users under 13 years of age.

While we want Zwift to be open to everyone, regardless of age, our primary concern is protecting your child's privacy and safety while using our platform. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and GDPR, children under the age of 16 are not permitted to use Zwift without written consent from a parent or legal guardian.

If your child is under 16, their Zwift account will be free until they are 16 years old. After they turn 16, you'll have to pay the regular monthly membership fee for them to continue using Zwift.

Your child must be at least five (5) years old to Zwift.

To comply with children's privacy laws and confirm that you are an adult consenting for your child, we collect a nominal payment of $1 via credit card. We will donate this fee to RIDING FOR FOCUS SCHOOL CYCLING, a program that helps transform children's lives by helping them to achieve academic, health and social success.

Thank you for your interest in establishing an account for your child. Below is some important information about how Zwift collects, uses, and discloses information from and about your child. In order to set up an account for your child, you must read this notice and then click the link below to set up your child’s account.

To set up your child’s account, we will ask you to provide information about yourself and your child to create a user name for your child (please don’t use one that includes your child’s actual name). We’ll also ask some questions about your child such as their name, date of birth, and email address that will be used for their login. You or your child will need to provide their gender, height, and weight, so that we can accurately calculate information about their workouts. We also collect any information you or your child provide to customize their profile, such as a profile picture or avatar.

Once your child’s Zwift account is set up, it will collect information about their activity on Zwift, like route, cadence, effort, length of ride or run, total output and total calories burned, elevation gain, and, if your child uses a heart rate monitor, your child’s heart rate. We also collect information about any screenshots your child takes, challenges and missions completed, and your child’s experience level (e.g., Academy status), and fitness test results. As a parent, you can see your child’s activity by following your child with your own Zwift account or signing into your child’s account.

Zwift has designed Children’s Accounts so that users of those accounts cannot chat with other users and have more limited ability to interact with other users than do adult users. Please carefully review your child’s settings to make sure you are comfortable with how they are using the Zwift service. We do not share Children’s Account data with users outside of the parent/guardian who set up the Children’s Account.

To learn more about how Zwift collects, uses, and discloses information from children, read the Children’s Privacy Policy.

By establishing a Children’s Account, you confirm that you are the parent or legal guardian the child for whom the account is created and that you agree to Zwift using your child’s information in the ways described in the Children’s Privacy Policy. You understand that you can later withdraw this consent by emailing us.

When your child turns 16, he or she will be eligible to independently manage his or her account. We will send an email to the email address we have on file for you indicating that your child’s account will be converted to a regular account, and your child will receive a prompt at their next login requesting that they change their password to establish a regular Zwift Account. This regular account will be subject to our main Privacy Policy and will incur applicable monthly membership fees in effect at the time your child converts his or her account to a regular account.
