By accessing or using Casa Rancha, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the Platform immediately.

1.3 Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not request sensitive government identifiers (e.g., SSN, or any of such) unless required by law. Identification information, such as State ID, Passport info, may be required to verify an account, and this is only requested if the user chooses to verify their account. In that case, much like any other social media platform, Casa Rancha will conduct the standard practice of requesting such information.

6. Security

Casa Rancha is intended for users 15 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 15. If we discover such information, we will delete it promptly. While we heavily depend on the honesty of our users, we do understand that there will be certain account users who might try to defraud our systems and platform by either lying about their age or falsely pretending to be under the parent or guardianship. We will continue trying our best to remove and delete such accounts.
