You have the right to delete the Personal Data we have collected. To facilitate this, our Service allows you to update, amend, or delete your information within your account settings. Alternatively, you may contact us directly to request access to or deletion of your data. Note, however, that we may retain certain information when we have a legal obligation to do so.
Disclosure of Your Personal Data
Business Transactions
If the Company undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, we may transfer your Personal Data. Specifically, we will notify you before we move your information and a different Privacy Policy begins to govern it.
Law Enforcement
Under certain circumstances, the law may require the Company to disclose your data. Specifically, we may respond to valid requests from courts or government agencies.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your data if we believe such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect Company property, or ensure the personal safety of our users.
Security and Children’s Privacy
Security
We value the security of your data; however, no electronic storage method is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable protections, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
Our Service does not target individuals under the age of 13. In addition, we never knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone in this age group. However, if you are a parent or guardian and realize your child shared personal data with us, please contact us right away. Consequently, if we discover that we have gathered information from a minor without verified parental consent, we take immediate steps to purge that data from our servers.
