Limit the Use or Disclosure of My Sensitive Personal Information
Under the CPRA, California residents have the right to limit the use and disclosure of their sensitive personal information (SPI) to certain necessary business purposes.
We do not collect or process sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, or precise geolocation data) in a way that would trigger this specific right to limit. Therefore, no action is required on Your part within this section of the policy.
Children's Privacy
Our Service and Publications do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us.
If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers. If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.
