  1. INTRODUCTION

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which The YA Chronicles (“TYAC”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, maintains and discloses information, including personally identifiable information, collected from users (each, a “User”) of the http://theyachronicles.com.au/ website and subscription service (the “Service”). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by TYAC.

  1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

2.1 INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE DURING ACCOUNT CREATION.

During the membership registration process, we require that you provide us with an e-mail address, your real name, and your physical address. Although you are required to provide payment information during the registration process, TYAC does not collect, store, or retain payment information for any member.

2.2 INFORMATION WE DO NOT COLLECT.

As explained in our Terms of Use, you must be eighteen (18) years of age or older, or have obtained the consent of your parent or legal guardian, to subscribe to the Service. Therefore, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information about children.

As discussed in 2.1, TYAC will not collect, store, or retain payment information.

2.3 INFORMATION WE MAY TRACK.

We gather certain anonymous, non-personal information automatically and store it in web server log files. This information includes internet protocol addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), site entry/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data. We use this information to improve our site, analyse trends, administer the site, and gather aggregate information about our user base as a whole. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of services or users from which individual user identities have been removed, and therefore does not include your personally identifiable information.

Our website may use “cookies” to enhance User experience. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. It can also help us understand how our site visitors click to our site, what pages they view during their visit, and their account and preference information as members of the Service. A User’s web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. User may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.

If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can set your web browser software to disable them. To do so, please refer to the help section of your specific browser for more information on how to manage or disable cookies. Please note that your browser must be configured to accept cookies to use the Quarterly Service.

  1. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

3.1 TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE TYAC SERVICE.

We use your information, including personally identifiable information, for the purposes of providing you with the Service you have elected to receive. We share your information, including your personally identifiable information, to the minimum extent necessary. For example, as we are shipping physical goods to you, we will share your name and shipping address with our third party carrier.

3.2 IN TYAC COMMUNICATIONS.

We use emails and/or prominent notifications on our website as our primary means to inform our users of important Service and promotional announcements.

When you establish an account at http://theyachronicles.com.au/, we use the email address provided during account creation to deliver important Service-related announcements to you. This includes, and is not limited to, email verification during registration, requests for password reset, important security or server maintenance updates, upgrades, and new releases, or policy changes. These Service-related announcements are considered a fundamental part the TYAC Service, and members cannot opt-out of these email announcements.

3.3 ON OUR WEBSITE.

As noted earlier, we use information collected from our web log files to calculate and publish anonymous, non-personal, aggregate statistics that we believe our members are interested in viewing. For example, we may track and publish the total number of members who have signed up for a particular special offer. We publish this data in aggregate form only, and this aggregate data does not contain any personally identifiable information.

3.4 FOR INTERNAL REPORTING AND ANALYSIS

As noted above, we use information gathered from log files and cookies to improve our site, analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements around the site, and to gather aggregate information about our user base as a whole.

  1. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

4.1 WITH THIRD-PARTIES.

We will never rent or sell your personally identifiable information to anyone. Occasionally we share anonymous, non-personal, aggregate information about our members with partners or advertisers, and we may publish these aggregate usage statistics on our website for the interest of our users. This shared or published data does not contain the personally identifiable information of any person.

In some cases, we may allow you to access or link to other web services through our website. For example, we allow users to share content using Facebook and Twitter. In all of these cases, those sites may choose to collect your personal information as they deem appropriate. We are not responsible for or in control of how third parties collect, use, or disclose your information obtained through these linked services. We encourage you to be aware when you are using these third party services and, for your best on-line experience, we encourage you to review their policies before submitting any personal information to them.

4.2 AS NECESSARY IN CERTAIN LEGAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

We reserve the right to disclose your information, including personally identifiable information, when we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is necessary to (a) comply with any law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce these Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations of these Terms of Service, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Quarterly, its users, or the public as required or permitted by law.

If TYAC becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, including bankruptcy, our assets, including member information, may be transferred to a third party. At that time, your member information may become subject to that third party’s privacy policy. Before we transfer your user information, we will notify you either by email or by posting a prominent notice on our site, and we will remind you of your ability to add, edit or delete your personally identifiable information from your account management options page in advance of any such transfer.

  1. HOW WE KEEP INFORMATION SAFE AND SECURE

Your account information is password protected. We will not share your password with anyone. Please do not share your password with anyone, and remember to change your password from time to time, to keep your account information secure.

Please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, thus we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, but we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
