11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not designed for or directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child, we will promptly delete such information and terminate the child's account if applicable.
