7. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may require proof of such consent before granting access to youth membership features or services.

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