6. Third-party services and links
We may use trusted third-party services (e.g., payment processors, email delivery services, analytics providers). These providers process data on our behalf and have their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies. Our website may contain links to other sites — we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

9. Children’s privacy
Our services are not intended for children under 13 (or the applicable age under local law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If a parent or guardian believes we have collected a child’s personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
