6. International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States, where our servers and service providers are located. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country.

Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages.
