Our website and services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18 (or 21 in applicable jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
10. Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to third-party websites, including the vendors we review and compare. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. If you purchase from a third-party vendor, that transaction — including your order, payment, and shipping information — is handled by the vendor under the vendor's own privacy policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
