Our Services are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age (or 16 years of age in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these age limits. When we collect personal information, we do not know the age of our users. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as promptly as possible.

We are an international organization with service providers located around the world. When you use our Services, your personal information may be transferred to, processed, and stored in countries other than your country of residence, including but not limited to the United States, Singapore, and other countries where our service providers operate.

These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

8.1 Safeguards for International Transfers

When we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland to other countries, we use the following legal mechanisms to ensure adequate protection:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): We use European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses with our service providers to ensure appropriate safeguards for data transfers
  • Adequacy Decisions: We may transfer data to countries that have been deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of data protection
