We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 18 through our Service; however, certain third-party websites that we link to may collect such information. These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and instruct their children to never provide information on other websites without their permission.


We do not sell the personal information of Consumers that We actually know are less than 18 years of age, unless We receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 18 years of age, or the parent or legal guardian of a Consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt in to the sale of personal information may opt out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, You (or Your authorized representative, parent, or legal guardian) may submit a request to Us by contacting Us.


If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided Us with personal information, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to locate and delete that information.


15. Do Not Sell My Personal Information


You have the right to opt-out of the sale of Your personal information. Once We receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request from You, we will stop selling Your personal information. To exercise Your right to opt-out, please contact Us.


The Service Providers we partner with (for example, our analytics or advertising partners) may use technology on the Service that sells personal information. If you wish to opt out of the use of Your personal information for interest-based advertising purposes and these potential sales, you may do so by following the instructions below.


Please note that any opt out is specific to the browser You use. You may need to opt out on every browser that You use.


A. Website


Our website does not use third-party advertising networks or service providers that deliver interest-based or behaviorally targeted ads. As such, we do not rely on external opt-out platforms.


Any preferences for personalized content or advertising are instead managed by your browser. You can configure your browser settings to limit or block cookies, manage privacy controls, or send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Please note that these signals are honored based on your browser's capabilities and configuration.


Because we do not participate in third-party ad personalization services, no opt-out cookies are set by us, and you will not need to manage separate opt-out processes across browsers.


B. Mobile Devices


Your mobile device may give You the ability to opt out of the use of information about the apps You use in order to serve You ads that are targeted to Your interests:


  • "Opt out of Interest-Based Ads" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android devices

  • "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS devices

You can also stop the collection of location information from Your mobile device by changing the preferences on Your mobile device.


Our Service does not respond to Do Not Track signals.


However, some third-party websites do keep track of Your browsing activities. If You are visiting such websites, You can set Your preferences in Your web browser to inform websites that You do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable DNT by visiting the preferences or settings page of Your web browser.


16. Children's Privacy


Our Service does 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. We are in full compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent.


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.



Our Service may contain links to other websites that We do not operate. If You click on a third-party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.


We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
