Plaza is intended for users 18 years of age or older. Our services include discussion of financial markets, public-company filings, and other content that is not directed to children.

We do not knowingly collect, use, sell, or share personal information from any child under the age of 13, in accordance with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We also do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the digital age of consent in their jurisdiction (which is 13 to 16 in much of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom) without verified parental or guardian consent where required.

If you are under 18, please do not create an account, submit any personal information, or otherwise use Plaza.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the applicable minimum age without the required parental consent, we will promptly delete that information, terminate the associated account, and stop any further processing of that data.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at info@readplaza.com. We will investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information from our systems and close the account at no cost to you.

Our services are operated from Canada. If you are outside Canada, your information may be transferred to and processed in Canada, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be posted on our website with a new effective date.
