When you utilize our Services, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older, or that you are the legal parent or guardian of a minor and consent to the minor's use of the Services. In the event that we discover personal information has been gathered from users under 18 years old, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable steps to promptly erase such data from our records.

We do not currently respond to Do-Not-Track signals or similar mechanisms.
Many web browsers and certain mobile operating systems and applications offer a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting. This feature allows you to express your privacy preference by signaling that you do not wish your online browsing activities to be tracked and gathered. It's important to note that there isn't currently a universally accepted technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. Consequently, we do not presently react to DNT browser signals or any other automated method that conveys your choice to avoid online tracking. Should a standardized approach to online tracking emerge that we are obliged to adhere to in the future, we will apprise you of this practice through a revised version of this privacy notice.
