We generally do not collect or retain personal information (i.e., information that is identifiable to an individual) on our child-directed Platforms. Also, we do not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from a child under the age of 13 years (a “Child”). If we determine that a user is a Child, we will not use or maintain the Child’s personal information without the parent/guardian’s consent. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personal information from a Child, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records; we will retain that personal information only to ensure the safety of the Child, protect the security or integrity of the Platforms, take precautions against liability, respond to judicial process, and as required by law.

General Location Information. The Platforms may collect general location information. The Platforms do not collect street name or street address. The Platforms do not collect precise geolocation of your device.
