Our Services may be operated from and hosted on servers located in countries other than your own. This means your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries that may have data protection laws different from those in your jurisdiction.

9. Children's privacy

The Website is designed for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 years of age (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us. We will take steps to delete such information as required by applicable law.
