However:

  • We do not use AI or automation to make legally or financially binding decisions about you.

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information, and you use the Services at your own risk.

You can still manage cookies and similar technologies via your browser settings and other tools as described above.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

14. Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services (e.g., AI platforms, learning tools, payment processors).

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. Your use of third-party sites and services is subject to their own privacy policies and terms, and we encourage you to review them.
