POLICY STATEMENT
The Information We Collect and How We Use Your Information

PlanHub may from time to time retain third parties to help us collect and aggregate information from the Services.
(B) “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, can reasonably be associated with, or can reasonably be linked to a particular individual, household, or entity and also includes any information you may provide to PlanHub when registering for the Services.
We collect information from you both when you provide it voluntarily and also automatically when you use our Services. We may also collect Personal Information associated with you from users that are registered for our services.

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 13 years old. If you do not meet this age requirement, then you must not access or use the Services.
If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us Personal Information, please contact us though one of the methods listed under “Contacting PlanHub”, below. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from Children without verification of parental consent, we take reasonable steps to remove that information from our servers.
For more information about the COPPA, which applies to websites that direct their services to children under the age of thirteen (13), please visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/complying-coppa-frequently-asked-questions.
