We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity under your account.

If you access our services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Data protection laws in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

14. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use our website or provide any information to us.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

If your service may be used by teens, you should have counsel review age-based requirements for your launch markets.

15. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with any information.

16. Do Not Track

Some browsers include “Do Not Track” features. Because there is no universal standard for responding to these signals, we may not respond to all DNT signals. We may, however, honor legally required opt-out preferences where applicable.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may notify you by posting the updated policy on our website, updating the “Last Updated” date, or providing additional notice as required by law.

Your continued use of our services after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you accept the revised policy.
