# activeParentalControls

The parental controls that are active on the device.

```
var activeParentalControls: AgeRangeService.ParentalControls
```

## Discussion

It’s important to note that the minimum age of legal adulthood varies depending on the region associated
with someone’s Apple account.  If [`activeParentalControls`](/documentation/DeclaredAgeRange/AgeRangeService/AgeRange/activeParentalControls) is empty, either the device
doesn’t have parental controls enabled as part of the response or a person’s age doesn’t fall into the
reporting range for the specific region.
