Children and Teen Users

HarborMedia.ai is a general-audience service and is not intended to be directed to children under 13.

HarborMedia.ai does not knowingly collect personal information online from a child under 13 in a manner subject to COPPA without complying with applicable parental notice and consent requirements.

New York's Child Data Protection Act provides additional protections for personal data of users under 18. HarborMedia.ai minimizes data collection from known minors and does not use, share, or sell a known minor's personal data for advertising or other non-necessary purposes except as permitted by applicable law and with required consent.

Contributor forms require submitters to be 18 or older unless a parent or legal guardian is handling the submission.

• In connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset transfer, subject to applicable law
• When required by law, legal process, or a valid governmental request
• To protect rights, safety, property, systems, users, or the public

HarborMedia.ai does not sell personal information. Service providers, analytics tools, and embedded platforms may receive data as described above in order to operate the service.

Data Security

HarborMedia.ai uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information it maintains. New York's SHIELD Act requires covered businesses that own or license New York residents' private information to develop, implement, and maintain reasonable safeguards.

No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

HarborMedia.ai retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, legal obligations, disputes, security, licensing records, or legitimate business needs.
