5. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY



YNK complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and all other applicable laws and regulations concerning children and the Internet.

Children under the age of 13

Because YNK Rohan Sites and Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, YNK does not provide memberships to persons under age 13. If you are under the age of 13, you may not create an account on the YNK Rohan Sites, you may not sign up for any subscription service or buy anything through the online store, and you are not eligible to enter any of our sweepstakes or promotions. Except as may be required by law, YNK will not knowingly collect, maintain, or disclose any personal information from children under the age of 13.

If you are a parent or guardian who has discovered that your child has submitted his or her personal information without your permission or consent, YNK will take reasonable steps to remove that information from the YNK database at your request. To request removal of your childs information, please send us an e-mail at support@ynkinteractive.com and be sure to include in your message the same user name, password, and e-mail address that your child submitted.
6. SECURITY


While YNK takes precautions against possible breaches in YNK Rohan Sites and customer databases, no web site or Internet transmission is completely secure. Consequently, YNK cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur.

While no computer is 100% safe from outside attacks, we believe that the steps we have taken to protect your information drastically reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of information involved. Whenever you give YNK sensitive or confidential information (for example, credit card numbers for purchases), YNK will take commercially reasonable steps to protect the information by establishing a secure connection with your web browser. We have established and maintain reasonable security procedures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your personally identifiable information. We use encryption, Secure Socket Layers, and other technical measures (such as off-site backup, security testing, and password protection), and we implement off-line efforts to further protect this information, including limiting employee access to personal information and updating our employees regarding our security practices and privacy policies.
7. NOTICE OF CHANGES TO THE POLICY


YNK reserves the right to change this Policy at any time by notifying registered users via e-mail of the existence of a new Policy and/or posting the new Policy on the YNK Rohan Sites. All changes to the Policy will be effective when posted, and your continued use of any YNK Site or Services after the posting will constitute your acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, those changes.

8. CHANGE OF CONTROL


In the event that another company acquires all or substantially all of the assets related to the YNK Rohan Sites or Services, or if we experience some other change of control event such as merger, insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, we reserve the right to include any or all user-related information among the assets transferred to the acquiring company. We do not guarantee that any entity receiving such information in connection with any of these transactions will comply with all the terms of this policy.
