Information About Children and Minors
Our services are intended for use by adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental or guardian consent.
We do not permit children to create accounts independently. Any information related to minors is collected and maintained only as part of a parent or guardian’s account.
Customers may choose to provide or store information about minors, including names, ages, important dates, preferences, or related details, for legitimate purposes such as gifting, personalization, service history, or record-keeping. In some cases, we may assist in creating profiles for minors at the direction of a parent or guardian. These profiles are treated as extensions of the adult account and remain under the control of the parent or guardian.
All information related to minors is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy and with appropriate safeguards. Parents or guardians may request access to, correction of, or deletion of minor-related information at any time by contacting us.
