Special Notice Regarding Minors

We respect the privacy of children of all ages and in particular recognize the sensitivity of data concerning children under the age of 18 (“Minors”) and therefore provide this special notice to parents and legal guardians regarding the collection and use of data collected from Minors. The Services are not directed toward Minors. If you are under the age of 18, you may not use or access the Services. If we discover that a Minor has provided us with Personal Data, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete (or retain such data in a limited capacity to meet regulatory requirements) such Minor's Personal Data from our system.
