The Children’s Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) governs information gathered online from or about children under the age of thirteen (13).

We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that we cannot resolve with our users directly.
