Children Information
The Platform is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect data from children directly under the age specified by your local law (e.g., under 16 in many jurisdictions or under 13 in the United States under COPPA). If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent from their parents or guardians, we will promptly delete it. We will only collect or process information belonging to children under very limited circumstances. We might need to collect personal information belonging to children as part of our service if, for example, the personal information is required as part of reservation service from the platform. We will only collect personal information belonging to children if it is provided by and with consent of a parent or guardian. If we become aware that we have processed the personal information of a child without the valid consent of a parent or guardian, we will delete the personal information. Parents or guardians who believe that their child's information may have been collected should contact us immediately at support@hubaround.com.

International Data Transfers
If you are accessing our platform from outside the EEA, please note that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries that may not offer the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction.
