Our Service is not targeted towards those under the age of 18 (“Children”).

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18.

If you become aware that we may have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, please let us know so that we may take steps to remove that information from our servers.

GDPR and the CCPA

The General Data Protection Regulation was adopted on April 14, 2016, and became enforceable on May 25, 2018.

The State of California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act on June 28, 2018, taking effect on January 1, 2020.  It grants rights to transparency and control over the collection of personal information by companies in a similar means to GDPR.

As a non-EU entity, this site is exempt from GDPR and designating an EU Representative since the processing is only occasional and does not include, on a large scale, processing of special categories of data as referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR or processing of personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences referred to in Article 10 GDPR, and such processing is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, taking into account the nature, context, scope and purposes of the processing.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. In such cases, we may update the “effective date” at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
