Your personal information is never shared with third-party AI providers without your consent

Our Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.
If we become aware that we have collected personal data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
If we need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information and your country requires consent from a parent, we may require your parent's consent before we collect and use that information.

13. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Due to the lack of a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Service does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. We will update this policy if industry standards emerge to respond to DNT signals.
However, you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies through your web browser settings.
