- If we have actual knowledge that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take reasonable measures to delete that information from our servers.
- We encourage parents to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information through the Site.
- For users in the EU/EEA, the age of consent is generally 16, though member states may set it lower (down to 13). We do not knowingly process data of users under 16 without explicit parental consent.

- Parental Consent: Before collecting any other personal information (like name, email, photo) from a child under 13, we will first provide direct notice to the parent and obtain verifiable parental consent (VPC) as required by COPPA. Our methods for VPC include email plus additional confirmation, driver’s license and credit card verification, etc.
