5. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When your personal information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
7. Children's Privacy
L.R. Brain Solutions is committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our Services are intended for use by children only with the explicit consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
-
For Users in the United States (COPPA Compliance): We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. When a child under 13 wishes to use our Services, we require a parent or legal guardian to register the account, provide consent for the collection and use of the child's information, and supervise the child's use of the Services. We collect only the minimum amount of personal information necessary from a child to provide the service for which the parent has consented. Parents have the right to review their child's personal information, request its deletion, and refuse to permit its further collection or use. For more information on how parents can exercise these rights, please refer to Section 4 ("Your Choices and Rights") and Section 10 ("Contact Us").
-
For Users in the European Union/European Economic Area (GDPR Compliance): We are mindful of the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") regarding the processing of personal data of children. For children under 16 (or a lower age as determined by individual EU member states, generally not below 13), parental consent is required for the processing of their personal data. We implement reasonable measures to verify that consent is given or authorized by the holder of parental responsibility over the child.
General Approach to Children's Data:
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without verifiable parental or guardian consent where such consent is required, or in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under the applicable age without proper consent, please contact us immediately using the information in Section 10.
8. International Data Transfers (If applicable)
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 our servers are located and our central database is operated. By using our Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
