This policy applies when we act as data collectors for your personal data. This means we process your personal data for our Services. This policy covers Personally Identifiable Information collected from individuals and sole proprietors but does not extend to data collected from corporate entities. Regardless of how Personally Identifiable Information is collected or accessed, whether through personal computers, mobile devices, or other means, this policy applies.
Personally Identifiable Information: Through the Service, you may provide us with information that could reasonably identify you, including but not limited to your name, address, email address, phone number, and, if applicable, credit card information. We may also gather web-based information. We may use or share Personally Identifiable Information to offer products and services, enhance Service operations, improve marketing and promotions, analyze Service usage, troubleshoot, address disputes, perform administrative tasks, contact you, enforce agreements, including Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy, and comply with relevant laws and cooperate with law enforcement. The legal basis for this processing is your consent or our legitimate interests, such as monitoring and enhancing our website and services. We retain Personally Identifiable Information, like names, email addresses, and results accessible via direct URLs, for one month after purchase; they can be deleted upon request.
You always maintain the option to refrain from providing specific information. However, a certain level of information is necessary for engagement and participation in the Service.
A cookie, which consists of a unique identifier (a combination of letters and numbers), is transmitted by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The identifier is sent back to the server whenever the browser requests a page from the server.
Cookies can be categorized as either "persistent" or "session" cookies: a persistent cookie is stored by a web browser and remains valid until its set expiry date, unless manually deleted by the user before the expiration; in contrast, a session cookie expires at the end of the user session, closing when the web browser is shut.
Ordinarily, cookies do not contain data that personally identifies a user. Nevertheless, personal information stored about you can be linked to information obtained from cookies. We utilize cookies for various purposes:
Cookies may be placed on your computer when visiting our website by our partners, service providers, and affiliates.
We may employ tools such as Google Analytics or similar to assess website use. These tools use cookies to accumulate information about website usage, which is subsequently utilized to produce reports on website activity. Google's privacy policy can be accessed here.
Most web browsers allow you to decline cookies and eliminate them. The methods to achieve this vary depending on the browser and version. To receive current information on blocking and deleting cookies, consult the following links:
On occasion, the Service may save and/or retain code or other information/devices (referred to as "cookies") on your computer, mobile device, or other devices ("Local Device Storage"). Local Device Storage may be used for lawful business purposes, including assessing the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, controlling ad displays, tracking usage patterns, individual user movement, geographic location, server troubleshooting, demographic insights, trend analysis, research, content delivery, registration, personalization, and overall Service administration.
For instance, when you register on the Service and are given the option to save your credentials, Local Device Storage may be used for this purpose. Additionally, Local Device Storage may collect and store personally identifiable information, which might be shared with our parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, and other entities.
Your device may provide the option to decline Local Device Storage. However, disabling Local Device Storage might impact the proper functioning of certain Service segments.
Our continuous enhancement of websites and products is supported by various third-party web analytics tools. We're interested in understanding visitor behavior, preferences, issues, and the overall user experience. Our analytical tools assist in recognizing usage patterns, enhancing product experiences, and providing usage guidance. This usage data might be linked with individual user personal information. Ownership of this data remains with us, and we do not share such individual user data with third parties without consent or unless legally required.
Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers and databases situated beyond your jurisdiction, where privacy laws may be less protective. By consenting to this Privacy Policy and submitting such information, you agree to potential transfers to and from various jurisdictions.
If you're provided with an opportunity to create an account or profile, you may access Personally Identifiable Information (PII) via the Service using your username and password, which are encrypted. Sharing your password is not advised. It's important to safeguard access to your account and PII by protecting your credentials and taking necessary precautions when using shared computers or devices. Unauthorized entry, hardware or software failure, and other factors can compromise information security. In the event of a suspected security breach, we'll attempt to notify you.
We are dedicated to employing reasonable measures to protect user privacy. Technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security protocols are in place. Such measures include restricted access, password usage, and encryption, all aimed at safeguarding personal information from loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. Our employees are trained to respect privacy, and access to personal information is in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Credit card information is secured through industry-standard encryption.
However, full security against all risks during data transmission online is not guaranteed. Thus, we cannot ensure the complete security of information transmitted electronically. Materials shared on public forums, like bulletin boards or chat rooms, are public and insecure. Any personal information posted may be accessed and used by others, potentially resulting in unsolicited messages.
As required by California law, a summary of your privacy rights under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the California Business and Professions Code is provided.

If we become aware of such instances, we will make efforts to remove the information. Parents or guardians should contact us if they discover their child provided personal information without consent.
