United States Addendum
If you are using the Services in United States, the following additional terms apply. If any conflict arises between the main Privacy Policy, the following terms shall prevail:
Minimum Age. In the United States, the minimum age for users is 13. We therefore do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 in the United States without parental consent, unless permitted by law. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law.
California Consumer Privacy Act. For Users who are California residents, you have the following extra rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, and you have the right to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising your rights under the Act:
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you and explain how we have collected, used and shared your personal information over the past 12 months.
You have the right to request that we delete your personal information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.

California “Shine The Light” Law. For users located in California, we do not share your personal information with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
In addition, under California law, operators of online services are required to disclose how they respond to “do not track” signals or other similar mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personal information of a consumer over time and across third party online services, to the extent the operator engages in that collection. At this time, we do not track our Users’ personal information over time and across third-party online services. This law also requires operators of online services to disclose whether third parties may collect personal information about their users’ online activities over time and across different online services when the users use the operator’s service. We do not knowingly permit third parties to collect personal information about an individual User’s online activities over time and across different online services when using the Service.
As noted above, we may also disclose your personal information as part of, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale, divestiture, or transfer of all or a portion of the company assets, financing or acquisition or in any other situation where personal information may be transferred as one of our business assets.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising your rights. Please submit your request by sending an email to support@maxhub.com. Once we receive your request, we may verify it by requesting information sufficient to confirm your identity, including by asking you to verify information about your use of the Service. If you would like to use an authorized agent to exercise your rights, we may request evidence that you have provided such agent with power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf. Not all kinds of requests can be made by authorized agents in all states.
[If you are a California, Colorado, Connecticut or Virginia consumer and] if we refuse to take action on your request, you may appeal this refusal within a reasonable period after you have received notice of the refusal. You may file an appeal by contacting us at
support@maxhub.com.
