Children’s Privacy.

Personal Data Security.
The Company has implemented commercially reasonable and appropriate technical, physical, and administrative security measures designed to secure users’ Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, modification, and disclosure of Personal Data. Despite storing users’ Personal Data on secure servers, or those of third parties providing us with IT-related services or resources, and protecting user’s Personal Data further through modern access control methods, the ultimate safety and security of users’ Personal Data depends on the efforts of the user. Where and to the extent it is applicable, users are responsible for keeping certain Personal Data and Website-related access credentials confidential. We ask users to not share certain Personal Data that is used in connection with accessing and interacting with our Platform with anyone and we urge users to be careful about giving out their Personal Data in public areas of our Website as Personal Data shared in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website and the internet generally.
In an effort to further protect users’ Personal Data, the Company will conduct a data protection assessment, when required by applicable law, of how we process our users’ Personal Data and other identifying personal information that we may collect, treat, and handle. The purpose of the data protection assessment is to examine how we deal with our users’ Personal Data in relation to targeted advertisements, profiling of information, and the sale, transfer, or disclosure of Personal Data that we collect in hopes of determining whether there are any present or foreseeable risks to the public of either unfair, deceptive or unlawful treatment of their Personal Data, physical or financial harm users of the Website and any individual or group of individuals, or any other intrusive or substantial harm to any person.
Unfortunately, no data security system is perfect, and the transmission of Personal Data via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure. Although we do our best to secure and protect each user’s Personal Data, we cannot guarantee unequivocally the security of all Personal Data when transmitted to us or another individual by way of our Website due to the internet’s intrinsic vulnerabilities. Any transmission of Personal Data is made at the risk of each individual user, and we are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide, nor are we responsible for the privacy practices of external and third-party websites linked from our Website and Platform.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time at our discretion. If we make any material changes to how we treat your Personal Data, we will notify you by posting a notice on our Website and in other relevant areas.

Your continued use of the Website and our Platform after the effective date of any revised version of this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance and consent to such updates.
