9. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Vectis is committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. This commitment is in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and equivalent international regulations including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provisions for minors.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at vectis-lab@proton.me. We will promptly investigate and take appropriate steps to delete such information from our systems.

Some Vectis platforms, including Vectis Games, feature content accessible to a general audience which may include younger users. On these platforms, we take additional measures to limit data collection and require that our advertising partners comply with applicable children's privacy regulations, including serving non-personalised ads where appropriate.

10. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), secure password hashing, access controls, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

11. Third-Party Links

Our websites may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources not operated by Vectis. This Privacy Policy applies only to Vectis-operated properties. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites and strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit via a link on our platforms.

12. International Data Transfers

Vectis operates internationally. Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. Where data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable law, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

13. Changes to This Policy
