Lokul is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the legal age threshold.
9. International Users
If you use Lokul outside your home jurisdiction, your data may be processed in countries where our service providers operate, with appropriate safeguards where required by law.
