We are not in any manner responsible in the event that you do disclose information to an unaffiliated framing site. In fact, should you notice that our site is illegally framed by an unaffiliated third party, please notify us so that we can investigate that incident.
  • Links and Banner Ads to Third-Party Sites

We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we believe to be unlawful.

For how long do we retain the data?

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights do you have over your data?

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Do we protect the information we collect?

We use reasonable precautions to keep the personal information that you disclose to us secure and to disclose such information only within the guidelines of this Policy. Where information is shared, it is only with your permission and only to third parties we believe to be responsible. However, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties that receive the information. Our site may also link to many other sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy policies or practices.

When and where will policy changes be posted?

If yuenX.com makes changes to any terms or conditions of the Privacy Policy, the changes will be posted in this document so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and to whom we will disclose it. We may change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Policy at any time with or without notice, and any changes will become effective immediately upon being posted unless we tell you otherwise.
