Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 16.

Your Personal Information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.
Specifically, our servers are located in the United States, and our third-party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your Personal Information, we may process it in any of these countries.
We have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your Personal Information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These include implementing the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of Personal Information between our group companies and third-party service providers and partners, which require all such recipients to protect Personal Information that they process from the EEA in accordance with European data protection laws.
