Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy describes the information we receive from you when you interact with the Services, how we use and process that information, if and why Personal Information may be disclosed to third parties, and your choices regarding the collection and processing of your Personal Information.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through third-party websites or services that you may access through the Services, or that you submit to us through email, text message, or other options.
Please review this Privacy Policy carefully. When you submit information to or through the Services, you consent to the collection and processing of your information as described here. By using the Services, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy and consent to our collection, use, disclosure and retention of your information as described. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, please do not use any of the Services.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy, which supersedes all previous versions.
Information we collect
We collect information that you provide to us as well as information we obtain from your use of the Services.
Personal Information is information associated with or used to identify or contact a specific person. It includes contact data such as email address, telephone number and employer; demographic data such as gender, date of birth and zip code; and certain usage data such as IP address. Certain Personal Information, including information about personal health or finances, is characterized as Sensitive and is subject to stricter regulation. We urge you to consider carefully whether to disclose Sensitive Personal Information to us. If you do, you consent to its use and disclosure for the purposes and in the manner described here.
Usage Data is information about an individual's online activity that by itself does not identify the individual, such as browser type, service provider, IP address, operating system, webpages visited, what you searched for while using the Services, and metadata related to items you made available through the Services. Generally we do not consider Usage Data to be Personal Information, though the two may be linked, and some Usage Data may be Personal Information under applicable law.
Location Data is information about the location of a mobile device or computer, including location derived from GPS or WiFi use, the IP address of the device or internet service used to access the Services, and other information that indicates the current or prior location of a user.

We collect Personal Information from you when you create an account, contact us for help or information, or otherwise voluntarily provide it, including content you submit to us. Some information is collected automatically through cookies and similar tools.
Where the Services offer the ability to connect through social media, we may have access to information you have provided to that platform, depending on your privacy settings.
Third parties that assist with our business operations also collect information about you through the Services and share it with us. For example, vendors collect and share information to help us detect and prevent fraud. We may combine information collected from you with information from other sources.

Links to third-party services
The Services may contain links to third-party websites and services with which we have no affiliation. A link does not mean that we endorse the service or the quality or accuracy of information presented on it. If you visit a third-party service you are subject to its privacy policy and practices, not this one.

The Services are not intended for use by children. If you are under the age of majority in your place of residence, you may use the Services only with the consent of or under the supervision of your parent or legal guardian.
Consistent with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, if we learn that we have received information directly from a child under age 13 without first receiving verified parental consent, we will use that information only to inform the child, parent or legal guardian that the child cannot use the Services, and will subsequently delete that information.
