We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website without parental consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 without proper consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will promptly delete such information.
Health disclosures and emergency contact information for minor participants are collected and retained solely for safety purposes and are not used for marketing.
