6. A Critical Note on Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)

Play Nestor is intended for a general audience and includes content that may be of interest to children. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our youngest visitors in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable laws.

Information Collection from Children:
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU) without parental consent. The only instances where a child might provide personal data are:

Signing up for our newsletter (requires email).
Creating an account to post a comment (requires name/username and email).

Verifiable Parental Consent:
Before we collect any personal information from a child, we will make a reasonable effort to obtain verifiable parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and you consent to your child using our interactive features, you agree to this Privacy Policy on their behalf.

Parental Rights:
As a parent or guardian, you have the right to:

Review the personal information we have collected from your child.
Request that we delete your child's personal information.
Refuse to permit further collection or use of your child's information.

To make any of these requests, please contact us at "contactus@playnestor.com". We will require you to verify your identity to ensure you are the child's parent or legal guardian.

7. Your Data Protection Rights

Regardless of your location, you have rights over your data. This includes the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent for communications. To exercise these rights, please contact us. For users in specific regions like the EEA (under GDPR) or California (under CCPA), specific legal rights apply, which we are committed to honoring.

8. International Data Transfers

Our business is located in Dubai, UAE. However, our website is accessible globally, and our service providers (like Google) may process and store data on servers located outside of your home country. By using our website, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries that may have different data protection laws than your own. We rely on the legal frameworks and security measures of our partners to ensure your data is protected.

We implement security measures like SSL encryption to protect your data. We retain your data only for as long as necessary: comment data is kept managing the comment system, and subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe.
