When a user discloses Personal Information on the Curate Application, the user is representing to us that he or she is at least thirteen (13) years of age.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old. If a child under the age of thirteen (13) has provided us with personally identifiable information through the Curate Application, we ask that a parent or guardian e-mail us at admin@Curate.co, and we will delete the child’s information from our records.
