If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.

4.5 With Your Consent

We may share your information with third parties when you have given us your consent to do so.

5. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at support@localkidsguide.com. We will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@localkidsguide.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

7. Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.

However, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Service. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites, services, or applications that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

9. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our home page.

Your continued use of our Service after we make changes indicates that you accept and consent to those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

10. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to support@localkidsguide.com.

California residents may also have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Please see our CCPA Notice for more information.
