9. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are intended for individuals who are at least 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from children under the age of 13, nor do we allow children under the age of 13 to register for an account or place orders on our platform without verifiable parental consent.
The collection of personal information from children under 13 years of age is governed by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not intend for our website or any part of it to be accessed or used by children under 13.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and you believe that your child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

Users between the ages of 13 and 17 may use our services only with the documented consent and involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

10. International Data Transfers
Dions is a United States-based business, and we primarily process and store personal data on servers located within the United States. However, some of our third-party service providers may be located in or may transfer data to other countries. If we transfer your personal information outside of the United States, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection in accordance with applicable law.
If you are accessing our services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country of residence. By using our website and services, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to the United States for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
We use standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements, and other appropriate safeguards when engaging international service providers that may process your data, to ensure that your information is handled in a secure and privacy-protective manner regardless of where it is processed.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not operated or controlled by Dions. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites.

Some web browsers and mobile operating systems include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature or setting that you can activate to signal your preference that your data not be tracked. There is currently no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. As a result, we do not currently respond to browser DNT signals or any other similar mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly. In the meantime, you may use the tools described in the Cookies section above and the Your Rights section to limit the collection of your data.
13. FTC Compliance and Consumer Protection
As a business operating in the United States, Dions is subject to the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), which prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in commerce, including with respect to consumer data. We are committed to handling your personal information in a manner that is transparent, fair, and consistent with the representations made in this Privacy Policy.
We do not engage in any deceptive data collection practices. We will not collect more personal information than is reasonably necessary for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. We maintain the accuracy of the personal information we hold about you and provide you with means to correct any inaccuracies.
If we materially change the way we use your personal information in a manner that is inconsistent with the representations made in this Privacy Policy at the time of collection, we will provide you with advance notice and, where required by law, obtain your consent before making such changes.
