This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Services. It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or applications that may be linked from our Services and that we do not control.

1. Scope and Audience

The Website is intended for a general audience. However, account-based features, including the Game, are available only to users who are at least 13 years old.

Users under 13 may not create an account, log in, or use the Game. If you are at least 13 but under 18, or otherwise under the age of legal majority where you live, you should use the Services only with the permission and supervision of your parent or legal guardian.
