Currently, GVC has data centers in China, the United States, Singapore and South East Asia. These overseas jurisdictions may or may not have in place data protection laws which are substantially similar to that in your home jurisdiction. You have understood that the risks under applicable data protection laws are different and we may transfer to and store your personal information at our overseas facilities However, this does not change any of our commitments to safeguard your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your personal information may be accessible to law enforcement or other authorities pursuant to a lawful request. By providing information to GVC, you consent to the storage of your personal information in these locations.
MINORS/CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our products and services are not directed to children under 16 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 13) years of age. If you are under the age of 16 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 13), you must have your parent’s permission to access the products and services. GVC urges parents to instruct their children never to give out their real names, addresses, or phone numbers, without parental permission, when online.
GVC does not seek or intend to seek to receive any personal information from minors. Should a parent or guardian have reasons to believe that a minor has provided GVC with personal information without their prior consent, please contact us to ensure that the personal information is removed and the minor unsubscribes from any of the applicable doctorgram services. If we learn that we have collected any personal information from children under 16 (and in certain jurisdictions under the age of 13) and we do not obtain permission from a parent, we will promptly take steps to delete such information and terminate the minor’s account.
