The privacy of children is important to us. We provide a separate experience for users under age 13 ("Child" or "Children") in the United States, in which we collect and process only limited information. Please see our Children's Privacy Policy to learn more. If we become aware that a Child's personal information has been collected outside of this separate experience for Children, we will delete this information in accordance with applicable law and terminate the Child's account.
