3. Children's Privacy. The Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. The Service does not knowingly collect or solicit information from anyone under the age of 13. In the event that we learn that we have gathered personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without the consent of a parent or guardian, we will delete that information as soon as possible. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us at [email protected].

II. How We Use and Share Information

Personal Information: Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Information with third parties without your consent.

We may share Personal Information with outside parties if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to meet any applicable legal process or enforceable governmental request; to enforce applicable Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations; address fraud, security or technical concerns; or to protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

Non-Personal Information: In general, we use Non-Personal Information to help us improve the Service. This Privacy Policy does not limit in any way our use or disclosure of Non-Personal Information and we reserve the right to use and disclose such Non-Personal Information at our discretion.

III. How We Protect Information

We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. We protect your information by using encrypted connections and secure authentication for all messaging infrastructure. However, these measures do not guarantee that your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such security measures. By using our Service, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
