10Children's Privacy

Dopamine Shifts creates educational resources primarily for adults.

Although some of our content may help parents support their children, our website is not intended for children to use independently.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to remove that information as soon as possible.

11International Data Transfers

13Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, educational resources, or external services that we believe may be helpful to our visitors.

Because these websites operate independently from Dopamine Shifts, we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

As our business grows and privacy regulations evolve, we may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

These internationally recognized frameworks emphasize key principles such as transparency, purpose limitation, responsible data collection, security safeguards, accountability, and giving individuals meaningful control over their personal information.
