Special note:In most cases, we cannot identify whether the specific personal information of the person that uses our products and/or services belongs to any children. For instance, we are unable to judge whether the collected and processed equipment information, personal Internet records and other personal information that do not have obvious age identification features is the children’s personal information. In order to better protect children’s personal information, we will process and protect the personal information identified as your child’s information that is collected during your use/your child’s use of our products and/or services in accordance with this Policy.
