Children’s Privacy

Quite simply, our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18 (“Children” or “Minors”).

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child or Children have provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. We take steps to remove any information from our servers that has been or is otherwise suspected to have been collected from children without verification of parental consent. Although our Service does not actively collect such personal information, outside of the aforementioned cookies and tracking data, The Pizza Code Mystery takes the privacy of Children very seriously.

Furthermore, The Pizza Code Mystery service is based on a video game with mature content. This content may be discussed, displayed, or otherwise linked to in a manner that may not befit Children or persons with certain sensitivities. Discretion is advised, including parental discretion in the case of Children. It is not the responsibility of The Pizza Code Mystery to ensure the content on our Service is appropriate for Children, as the Service is not geared towards nor intended for Children or audiences with certain sensitivities.
