POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13
Our Collection of Personal Information from Children Under the Age of 13
The Intermountain Yudanshakai does not knowingly collect any personal information from children
under the age of 13 (referred to herein as "children") unless we have received prior verifiable
permission from the child's parent or legal guardian (referred to herein as "parental consent"). As is
further explained in the USE OF IP ADDRESSES section of this Privacy Policy, we do not link the IP
addresses of Site users to personal information other than in specified circumstances. As is further
explained in the USE OF COOKIES section of this Privacy Policy, we do use cookies on our Site, but
such cookies are not linked to personal information unless such personal information is voluntarily
provided to us via the Site.
We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children, and to take an active
role to protect the privacy of their children, including but not limited to instructing their children not
to disclose any personal information over the Internet without your prior permission.
Once we have received verifiable parental consent, we may actively collect personal information
from a child so that the child may participate in the following services and activities in connection
with his or her use of the Site:
- contests and promotions the rules of which permit entry by children;
- inclusion in our online newsletter program; and
- registration as a registered user of the Site.
We may collect the following types of personal information from children in connection with such
services and activities:
- name and member name;
- age and birth date;
- e-mail address and mailing address;
- e-mail address of a parent or guardian; and
- favorite sports, hobbies, interests and extracurricular activities.
The Intermountain Yudanshakai will not condition a child's participation in any game, the offering of
a prize, or a child's participation in any other activity on the child's disclosing more personal
information than is reasonably necessary for the child to participate in such activity.
We note that, in the course of a child's use of our Site, the child may voluntarily provide further
personal information about himself or herself to us - for example, by including personal information
in messages submitted to us via the Site. We also note that we may collect personal information
about a child from the child's parent or guardian - for example, if the parent or guardian requests
that we send our newsletter to the child.
Our Use and Disclosure of Personal Information Collected from Children Under the Age of 13
The does not knowingly use any personal information about children unless we have first received
verifiable parental consent to do so.
Once we have received verifiable parental consent, we may use personal information about children
for the following purposes:
- fulfilling the purpose for which the child, parent or guardian provided that personal
information ( e.g. , contacting the child in response to a question submitted by the child;
sending newsletters for which the child signed up to the child, etc.); and
- record keeping.
Except as specified herein, The Intermountain Yudanshakai does not knowingly disclose any
personal information about children unless it has received specific verifiable parental consent to
disclose such personal information for a particular purpose ( e.g., publishing the name and image of
a child who has won a contest). For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the "disclosure" of personal
information about children refers to both: (a) The Intermountain Yudanshakai's disclosure of the
personal information in identifiable form to a third party (other than a service provider with respect
to our Site that has agreed not to use or disclose the personal information other than to the extent
necessary to perform services on behalf of The Intermountain Yudanshakai); and (b) making any
such personal information publicly available in identifiable form by any means, including but not
limited to, by public posting on the Site, or through an e-mail service, message board or chat room.
The Intermountain Yudanshakai may use and/or disclose personal information about children,
without parental consent, to the extent reasonably necessary to:
- protect the security or integrity of our Site and online services;
- take precautions against liability;
- respond to judicial process; or
- provide information to law enforcement agencies or for an investigation on a matter related
to public safety, to the extent permitted by law.
Parental Consent and Rights of Parents
Before knowingly collecting personal information from a child, The Intermountain Yudanshakai will
use reasonable efforts to ensure that the parent or guardian of the child: (a) receives notice of our
personal information collection, use and disclosure practices; and also (b) authorizes the collection
and/or use of personal information from the child.
In order for anyone to register as a registered user of the Site, enter any contest or promotion
offered on the Site, sign-up for our newsletters, or otherwise participate in any e-mail services,
message boards or chat rooms we may establish, he or she must submit an online form that
includes such person's date of birth. If the given date of birth establishes that the person is under
the age of 13, the Site automatically provides an online form that requires such person to enter an
e-mail address for his or her parent or guardian. We will then send notice of our personal
information collection, use and disclosure practices to the parent or guardian at the given e-mail
address. Unless we receive authorization from that e-mail address to do so, we will not activate the
child's account, and we will not knowingly collect any further personal information from the child.
Further, we will delete all personal information previously provided to us by the child. Finally, if we
do receive parental consent to the collection and/or use of personal information about the child, we
will send a confirmatory e-mail to the e-mail address from which we received such consent,
providing the parent or guardian the opportunity to revoke that consent.
Additionally, if a child wins any contest or promotion offered via the Site, notification and prizes are
sent to the parent or guardian who originally provided the parental consent. We will not publish the
name, age or image of any child who wins a contest without specific verifiable parental consent to
do so. A parent or guardian who consents to our collection and use of personal information about
his or her children has the right to simultaneously deny us permission to disclose that personal
information.
Once we have received parental consent with respect to the collection, use and/or disclosure of
personal information about a specific child, we will not collect, use and/or disclose personal
information about that child in any way that materially differs from the practices set forth in our
original notice to that child's parent or guardian without first providing notice of our new practices to
the parent or guardian, and obtaining verifiable parental consent to the collection, use and/or
disclosure of personal information about that child in accordance with our new practices.
A parent or guardian of a child who has provided personal information to us has the following rights:
- to require that we provide a description of the specific types or categories of personal
information that we collect from children (such as name, address, e-mail address, favorite
sports, hobbies and extracurricular activities);
- to, at any time, refuse to permit our further collection, use or disclosure of any personal
information about his or her child;
- to review the personal information that we have collected from his or her child;
- to require us to modify any personal information that we have collected from his or her
child; and
- to, any at time, require us to delete all personal information that we have collected from his
or her child.
To exercise these rights, parents must contact us by one of the methods set forth in the
CONTACTING US WITH RESPECT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY section of this Privacy Policy.
Confidentiality, Security and Integrity of Personal Information Collected from Children Under the
Age of 13
We use industry-standard security techniques to provide secure transmission of personal
information from users' computers to our servers, and to protect against the loss, misuse or
alteration of personal information we have collected at the Site. Please refer to the SECURITY AND
INTEGRITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION section of this Privacy Policy.
USE OF IP ADDRESSES
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing
the web. Web servers, the big computers that "serve up" web pages, automatically identify your
computer by its IP address.
When a user accesses web pages on our Site, our servers automatically log the user's IP address.
The Intermountain Yudanshakai uses IP addresses for purposes of system administration, auditing
the use of the Site, and reporting aggregate information with respect to Site users to third parties.
We do not normally link IP addresses to any information that personally identifies the user, meaning
that the user remains anonymous to us. However, we will use IP addresses to determine the
identity of a specific user: (a) as is required by law; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) to
investigate claims with respect to use of the Site; (d) as is reasonably necessary to enforce the
terms of the Agreement; and (d) as is reasonably necessary to protect the interests, rights or
property of the Intermountain Yudanshakai or others.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, some services within the Site, such as message boards, may display
a user's IP address along with his or her user name and message. If you choose to take advantage
of such services, you acknowledge and agree that you have voluntarily provided to us information
that causes your IP address to link to personally identifying information, and that our obligations
with respect to use and disclosure shall be the same as those that apply to any other personal
information that you have voluntarily provided to us.
USE OF COOKIES
To enhance your experience with the Site, many of our web pages use "cookies." Cookies are text
files we place in your computer's browser to save information. We use cookies to understand Site
usage and to improve the content and offerings on the Site. For example, we may use cookies to
personalize your experience at the Site ( e.g. , to recognize you by name when you return to the
Site), save your password in password-protected areas, and enable you to use shopping carts on
the Site. We never save your financial information in cookies. By showing how and when users use
the Site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not.
Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable
information. However, if you choose to provide personally identifiable information about yourself to
us via the Site, for example, by registering as a registered user of the Site, this personal
information may be linked to the data stored in a cookie.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies
or to indicate when a cookie is being sent to you. However, please be aware that some parts of the
Site will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse to accept cookies. For
example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized news preferences or you may
have difficulty completing shopping transactions, entering contests or playing games.
As you will see, third parties such as our sponsors display logos and advertisements on the Site.
These advertisements may contain cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third party
servers is standard in the Internet industry. The Intermountain Yudanshakai does not control, or
have any responsibility with respect to, these third party cookies.
SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

maintaining the confidentiality of your registration information and password, and for all uses of
your password. You should remember to sign out of your Intermountain Yudanshakai account and
