Collection of data from children

However we wish to protect the privacy of children. Therefore we do not collect personal data from children under the age of which it is not allowed in their country without the consent of their parents. This means we do not collect data from children under 13 in the United States and 16 in the European Union. If you are aware that children under the age of which it is allowed have provided us with personal data without the consent of the parents, please contact us immediately. We will immediately delete the account of any child under the age of which it is allowed to share personal data without the consent of their parents.
