YMAA does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If YMAA learns that YMAA has inadvertently gathered personal data from children under 13 years of age, YMAA will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such personal data from YMAA's records.

YMAA understands the need to provide extra privacy protections to users who are children. To that end, features and services such as social networking plug-ins, behaviorally targeted advertising, and collection of data for the purpose of building user profiles are not available to users under 13. YMAA also does not allow our third party partners who engage in such practices to access personally identifiable data from users under 13.

YMAA and its partners do collect non-personally identifiable data from children. This includes, for example, collection of IP-based geolocation data to ensure that the product, service or features served comply with applicable laws of that nation.

YMAA and its partners also collect data to assess general information about the use of products, such as the number of visitors to our sites and services and which sections of a site or service are popular. YMAA also uses this data to provide contextually-relevant advertising to users, to prevent users from seeing the same ad repeatedly, and to allow users to personalize their experience on the site or service. YMAA and its partners may also use cookies, pixels, hardware-based identifiers, Operating System-based identifiers, and software-set identifiers, to manage and measure the performance of advertising.

Please note that YMAA's partners may have their own policies related to tracking technologies for analytics and ad-serving purposes. While YMAA requires that companies comply with YMAA's privacy policy before YMAA allows those companies to access our sites and services, YMAA does not actually control third-party data collection and use. YMAA encourages parents to review the list of operators below and to become familiar with those parties policies and practices.
