6. Third-Party Services
Our website uses third-party services that may collect information:

7. Tips for Parents & Educators
👨👩👧 Recommendations for Safe Use

- Use privacy settings: Configure browser privacy settings and consider ad blockers
- Discuss online safety: Teach children not to enter personal information online

If we implement features that require age verification in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.
