Spinko is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our records. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child, please contact us.
