Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure.

Once the Pre-Teen is added as an Authorized User, 3Steps will only collect and use personal information related to the Pre-Teen for the purposes of providing the Services, and any such information will not be shared with third parties for any purpose not required or permitted by applicable laws.
