4. Controlling your personal data

Other users may be able to identify you, or associate you with your account, if you include personal information in the content you post publicly. You can reduce the risk of being personally identified by using the Service pseudonymously, though doing so could detract from the credibility of your contributions to the Service.

For example, we may retain information to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service or to comply with legal obligations. Please note that businesses cannot remove their business listings, ratings, or reviews by closing their accounts.

6. Minors

Although we strive to make our Service useful and safe to general audiences, it is not intended to be used by minors (under the age of 18) at this point in time. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you become aware that a minor has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us to support@crowdsorz.com  If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account.

7. Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
