US Child Users
If your child is located in the United States of America, we handle their
Personal Data in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act (“COPPA”). COPPA applies to child users who are under the age of 13.
COPPA requires that we receive verifiable parental consent from the child's
parent or legal guardian before the collection, use, or disclosure of the
child's Personal Data. To learn more about how we receive this parental
consent, what personal data we collect from children, how we use this data,
including when we disclose it, go to COPPA Direct Notice to Parents. We
display this notice to all parents and guardians when soliciting and
obtaining verifiable parental consent.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has
provided us with Personal Data without your consent, please contact us as
at [email protected] We will dispose of that data in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations.
Parents can always refuse to permit us to collect further Personal Data,
request to review their child's Personal Data, or request that we delete
from our records the personal data collected from or about their child.
Please keep in mind that a request to delete records may lead to a
termination of an account, membership, or other service, as the nature of
our services requires collection of Personal Data. To exercise any of these
options, please contact us at [email protected]. Please be aware that to
protect children’s privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to
verify a parent or legal guardian’s identity before granting access to any
personal data.
