7. International Data Transfers

Your Personal Data may be processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States, where some of our Service Providers (e.g. Sentry, Google) are located.

The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 14. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 14.
