Demographic information, such as zip code.
Profile data, such as the randomly-generated username and password that Adult Users may modify or set, respectively, to establish an online account on the Service, date of birth, biographical details, pictures, photos, and any other information that Adult Users add to the account profile or submit during account creation.
Communications that we exchange with Adult Users, including when Adult Users contact us through the Service, social media, or otherwise.
Transactional data, such as information needed to obtain verifiable parental consent.
Marketing data, such as Adult Users’ preferences for receiving our marketing communications and details about Adult Users’ engagement with such communications.
User-generated content, such as profile pictures, photos, images, music, videos, comments, questions, messages, works of authorship, projects the Adult User has worked on, and other content or information that Adult Users generate, transmit, or otherwise make available on the Service, as well as associated metadata. Metadata includes information on how, when, where and by whom a piece of content was collected and how that content has been formatted or edited. Metadata also includes information that Adult Users can add or can have added to their content, such as keywords, geographical or location information, and other similar data.
Relationship data, such as information about family members whose Personal Information Adult Users may provide to us. For example, when a Adult User is a Parent of a Child User, the Parent may provide us with certain information about their Child User to complete any necessary parental consents.
Parent contact information, such as a Parent’s email address.
Payment information needed to complete transactions, including payment card information. We use Stripe as our payment processor, and Stripe receives and processes your payment information directly.

Other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.
** Photo Verification Process for Adult Users between the ages of 13 and 18: A child between the ages of 13 and 18 may sign up for an account by using a randomly generated username, which they are able to immediately modify (we instruct such users not to use their full name), by creating a password, and by completing the photo verification process, all without being required to go through the verifiable parental consent process. As part of the photo verification process, the Adult User submits photos to us, which we manually review to generally verify a Adult User’s provided age. However, as required by the Terms of Service, such users use the Services under the supervision of a Parent or Guardian who agrees to be bound by the Terms of Service.
