Plain-English summary
The company cannot guarantee protection against unauthorized access to personal information, and isn't responsible for information users release themselves (risk_flags-1, risk_flags-2). The Privacy Policy can be unilaterally changed with only five days' notice, and users' only recourse is to terminate their account (risk_flags-3). Sensitive information about children is collected for service provision (data_use-2, data_use-3). Personal information may be transferred internationally and shared with third parties or in business transactions (data_use-1, data_use-6). Furthermore, the company may be legally required to disclose personal data and communications (data_use-7). The service does not respond to 'Do Not Track' signals, and while it doesn't directly use tracking for targeted ads across third-party sites, advertising networks they use may do so (data_use-8). Even after a deletion request, some data may be retained due to legal requirements or kept as anonymous information (gotchas-1). The Privacy Policy does not cover third-party websites or content linked from the service (gotchas-2).

Inability to opt-out of all data tracking
The products do not respond to 'Do Not Track' (DNT) signals because tracking is required to track progress and tailor functionality. The company does not track users across third-party websites for direct targeted advertising but uses advertising networks that may track browsing activities.
Why it matters: You cannot prevent the service from tracking your product usage, which is used for tailoring functionality. While the company doesn't directly track you for targeted ads on third-party sites, the advertising networks they use may still track your browsing and serve tailored ads, diminishing your control over data sharing.
We do track your use of the Products over time because such tracking is required for us to track your progress through the Products and provide you with functionality in the Products that are tailored to you. Therefore our Products do not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals. We do not track the users of our Products across third party websites to provide targeted advertising directly to those websites. We do use advertising networks to present ads on third party sites, and those advertising networks and those third party sites may keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.
