Children can use our services. However, if they wish to access certain features, they may need to provide certain information. The collection of some data (including data collected through cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies) may occur automatically. If we knowingly collect, use, or disclose data collected from a child, we will do so in accordance with applicable law and obtain parental consent. We do not make a child's participation in an online activity contingent on the child providing more contact details than are reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. We use the data we collect only in connection with the services the child has requested.
We may also use a parent's contact details to communicate about the child's activities in the services. Parents can view data we have collected from their child, prohibit us from collecting further data from their child, and request that all data we have collected be deleted from our records.
Please contact us to view, update, or delete your child's data. To protect your child, we may ask you to prove your identity. We may deny you access to the data if we believe your identity is questionable. Please note that certain data cannot be deleted due to other legal obligations.
