Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children") as parents must create and maintain the account.
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13.

If you have any questions about reviewing, modifying, or deleting the personal information of a School User accessing the Service through a School partner agreement, please contact your School directly.
When our Service is used by a School in an educational setting, we may rely on the School to provide the requisite consent from the child's parents for Anomaly Studios, LLC to collect information from a School User under the age of 13.

Teachers can create accounts on behalf of Students. When registering an account for a Student who is under the age of 13 (a "Child"), the Teacher represents and warrants that they or the educational organization they work for has proper permission to register the Child to use our services.
By registering and creating an account for your child, your child will not be able to share information, including photos, videos, audio, and location, publicly and with others.
