Plain-English summary
The service states that information stored outside of Canada may be accessed by courts, law enforcement, or security authorities in those jurisdictions (risk_flags-1). There is also an acknowledgement that no internet data transmission is 100% secure, meaning unauthorized third parties could improperly use nonpublic Personal Information. Publicly posted photos or videos may be viewed, collected, copied, and used by other users without your knowledge or consent (risk_flags-3). Additionally, the service does not honor Do Not Track browser signals (risk_flags-4). The service may automatically delete accounts that are unused for an extended period (data_use-1) and reserves the right to sell aggregated, anonymous, or deidentified information to non-affiliated entities without restriction (data_use-2). Users who do not agree with the service's policies and practices may be unable to access or benefit from certain portions of the site.

Parental consent required for children under 16
Personal Information pertaining to children under the age of 16 requires explicit consent from their parent or legal guardian. The site may not be used by children under 16 without such consent, and any collected information will be deleted if parental consent is not verified.
Why it helps: This protects children's privacy by ensuring that their personal information is only collected and used with explicit parental or legal guardian consent, and provides a mechanism for deletion if consent is not obtained.
However, any Personal Information submitted pertaining to children under the age of 16 must be explicitly consented to by that child’s parent or legal guardian. As such, this Site may not be used, and no Personal Information should be submitted from children under 16 years of age without such consent.
