4. Data Storage and Security

All user data is stored in secure cloud databases with encryption at rest. We use industry-standard security practices including HTTPS for all communications, secure cookie settings, and regular security audits.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

7. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for hosting, media storage, and AI-powered content generation. These services only receive the minimum data necessary to perform their functions and are bound by their own privacy policies.
