For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals. Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described here without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

  • Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy: Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13. This site is intended for individuals over the age of 13. Any information collected is intended to be of individuals over the age of 13. According to COPPA, our site does NOT cater to children. “Operators of commercial websites or online services directed to children under 13 that collect personal information from children” require a COPPA agreement and privacy policy. Since we do not cater to this age group, no COPPA exists on IranDefence.net
