Our website and services are intended for use by individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13, as protected under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), or from minors under 18 years of age.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our records. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

We do not direct our marketing toward children, and our website does not contain features or content specifically targeted at minors. Individuals under 18 should not use our website or services without the supervision and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

11. International Data Transfers

Via 313 operates primarily within the United States. However, some of our third-party service providers and technology partners may be located in other countries and may process your personal data outside of the United States.

When your data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. These safeguards may include:

13. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online behavior tracked. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We will continue to monitor developments in this area and update our practices accordingly.

To exercise your right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, you may:
