Children's Privacy
Our Service is available to users of all ages. However, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information without parental consent, we take steps to remove that information.
While we do not ask for age during the registration process, we advise that children under the age of 13 use our Service under the supervision of a parent or guardian. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13 without parental consent, please contact us at
[email protected].
Data Security
The security of your data is important to us. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your Personal Information when you enter, submit, or access your Personal Information. Among other things, your browser session, as well as the data transmission, are secured with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
Despite these measures, the Internet is not a fully secure environment and we cannot guarantee that your Personal Information won’t be intercepted or improperly accessed. Please keep your password safe and do not share it with anyone.
