Consumers who opt-in to the sale of Personal Data may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, You (or Your authorized representative) may submit a request to Us by contacting Us.
If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 (or 16) has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to delete that information.
