Special and/or sensitive personal data
Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about visitors under the age of 16, unless they have permission from parents or guardians. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is older than 16. We therefore advise parents to be involved in their children's online activities to prevent data being collected about minors without parental consent.
