12. Children’s Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

Astrion does not knowingly collect any Personal Data from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our Services, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

 

13. Data Security
We employ commercially appropriate organizational, physical, technical, and procedural safeguards designed to protect your Personal Data in our possession or under our control to the extent possible from unauthorized access and improper use. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to or through our Services; any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, however, we will use the procedures and security features described above to try to prevent unauthorized access of your Personal Data.
