1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Personal Identification Information: Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and date of birth.

3. Protection of Children’s Privacy

We take the privacy of minors very seriously.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately so we can remove that information.
