This data is used to detect and prevent unauthorized access and ensure service security.

If requested, we will delete all information including the unsubscribe record.
Children’s Privacy
TYI does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
