HOW WE COLLECT AND USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
When a user tells us they are under the age of 16 on the Services, we will collect and use only limited personal information in accordance with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. We collect the following persistent identifiers automatically when children interact with the Services and use that information to support internal operations:
- IP address
- IDFV
- GAID
The information that is being collected also includes usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, your actions within our Services, and geo-location at a country level. Supported internal operations may include maintaining or analyzing the functioning of the Services, performing network communications, authenticating users, personalizing content, serving contextual ads or frequency capping, protecting security and integrity, and for legal or regulatory compliance. If a child provides us with their online contact information, we may also use their information to respond to the child’s request.
We will not condition a child’s participation in an activity within the Services on the child disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary for that activity.
HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION

- prospective or actual buyers or investors (including their agents or advisors) in the context of a planned or actual acquisition, merger, or other business restructuring,
- competent courts of law or other government authorities where disclosure is necessary as a matter of applicable law or regulation,
- any person or entity where we believe disclosure is necessary to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights or to protect your or another person’s vital interests, or
