We might use other methods depending on the situation.

The information you give us for verification will only be used to confirm it's you. We'll try our best not to ask for extra information, but if we can't verify you with what we already have, we might need some additional details. This extra information will only be used for verification and security purposes, and we'll delete it once we're done.

Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of Age

Protecting Children's Privacy

We don't knowingly collect information from users under 16 on our website. However, some websites we link to might collect information from minors. It's important for parents and guardians to:

Monitor their children's internet use.
Teach their children not to share information on other websites without permission.

Selling Personal Information (California Residents Only)

We don't sell the personal information of anyone we know to be under 16. There might be exceptions in California if:

A teen (13-16 years old) gives us explicit permission.
A parent or guardian gives permission for a child under 13.

Even if you allow us to sell your information, you can change your mind later and opt out. Just contact us to request this.

Removing a Child's Information

If you believe a child under 13 (or 16 depending on your location) has given us information, please contact us with details so we can delete it.

Transferring Your Information (California Residents Only)

If you request to download your personal information (data portability), we'll provide it in a format that's easy to use and transfer to another service.
