YOUscription Privacy Policy

YOUscription Limited ("YOUscription") recognizes that its customers, visitors, users, and others who use http://youscription.com/ or other web sites owned or operated by YOUscription (the "YOUscription Sites") (collectively or individually "Users") value their privacy. This Privacy Policy details important information regarding the use and disclosure of User information collected on the YOUscription Sites. YOUscription provides this Privacy Policy to help you make an informed decision about whether to use or continue using the YOUscription Sites.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the YOUscription Terms of Use. Your use of the YOUscription Sites and any personal information you provide on the YOUscription Sites remains subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.

Please note that all User Submissions (see the YOUscription Terms of Use) comprise published content and are not considered personally identifiable information subject to this Privacy Policy.

The Information YOUscription Collects

• User Provided Information: You provide certain personally identifiable information (such as your name and email address) to YOUscription when choosing to participate in various activities on the YOUscription Sites such as submitting experiences like recipes, testimonies, and questions, and interactions like comments, ratings, tags, and evaluations.


• Cookies Information: When you visit the YOUscription Sites, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. YOUscription uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the YOUscription Sites may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.


• Log File Information: When you use the YOUscription Sites, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser language, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.

The Way YOUscription Uses Information

• If you submit personally identifiable information to us through the YOUscription Sites, then we use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the YOUscription Sites.


• Any personal information that you voluntarily disclose online (in your recipes, testimonies, comments, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others. Your account username (not your email address) is displayed to other Users when you generate User Submissions and other Users can contact you through comments. Any User Submissions that you submit to the YOUscription Sites may be redistributed through the internet and other media channels, and may be viewed by the general public.


• We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major YOUscription Site changes or for customer service purposes).


• We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the YOUscription Sites and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.


• We use cookies and log file information to: (a) reuser information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the YOUscription Sites; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; and (c) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.

When YOUscription Discloses Information

• We do not share your personally identifiable information (such as name or email address) with other, third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use.


• We may share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third-parties (e.g., academic researchers) to assist them in understanding the usage patterns for certain content, services, and/or functionality on the YOUscription Sites.


• We may release personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws or respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant.


• YOUscription also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that YOUscription believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce its Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of our web site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of YOUscription, our Users or others.

Your Choices About Privacy

You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through the YOUscription Sites, in which case YOUscription may not be able to provide certain services to you. You may update or correct your personal profile information and email preferences at any time by visiting your account profile page. Please note that User Submissions uploaded by Users to the YOUscription Sites cannot be removed (unless delete features are enabled by the sites) and remain subject to our Terms of Use.

To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you profile access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.

Please contact YOUscription with any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, your personal information, your consent, or your opt-in or opt-out choices.

Our Commitment To Data Security

YOUscription uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to YOUscription and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, YOUscription makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

If YOUscription learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. YOUscription may post a notice on the YOUscription Sites if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice) you should contact us.

Our Commitment To Childrens' Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, YOUscription does not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information or non-personally-identifiable information on the YOUscription Sites from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of our website is directed to persons under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the YOUscription Sites at any time or in any manner. If YOUscription learns that personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been collected on the YOUscription Sites without verified parental consent, then YOUscription will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.

In the Event of Merger, Sale, or Bankruptcy

In the event that YOUscription is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our Users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used.

This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically and this will be reflected by the "effective date" below. Please revisit this page to stay aware of any changes.

Your continued use of the YOUscription Sites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any future revisions.

For revisions to this Privacy Policy that may be materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of the personal information you have already provided to us, we will attempt to obtain your consent before implementing such revisions with respect to such information.
