The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child provided information, contact us to remove it.

9) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No online service is 100% secure; you use the Service at your own risk.
