Youth Source Online Privacy Policy
(the "Privacy Policy") for this Web site, www.YouthSource.com
(the "Site"). If you have objections to the Privacy Policy,
you should not access or use this Site. This Privacy Policy does
not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities
or other Youth Source web sites.
Changes in Privacy Policy
All "personal information" ("personal information"
is defined as any information that identifies or can be used to
identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information
pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to the version
of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of such collection.
Youth Source reserves the right to change the Privacy Policy from
time to time at its sole discretion, and will provide notice of
material changes on the home page of the Site. If as the result
of such changes, you want to alter the ways in which Youth Source
is allowed to use your personal information, you can do so by following
the procedure described below in the section titled "Updating
your personal information and privacy preferences." You will
be deemed to have been made aware of, and will be subject to, the
changes to the Privacy Policy by your continued use of the Site
after such notice has been posted for thirty (30) days with the
following exception: If at the time you provide personal information
to Youth Source you are given the opportunity (as you currently
are) to limit how such information will be used to communicate with
you, either by Youth Source or by third parties, Youth Source will
not change your preference in this regard without your express consent.
However, if Youth Source sells assets (or the assets of a division
or subsidiary) to another entity, or Youth Source (or a division
or subsidiary) is acquired by, or merged with, another entity, Youth
Source may provide to such entity customer information that is related
to that part of our business that was sold to or merged with the
other entity without your consent.
Entities Collecting Personal Information
Personal information on this Site is collected by Youth Source.
For contact information, see our Contact
Page.
The Site contains links to other sites at which personal information
is collected. In such instances, unless expressly provided to the
contrary, the collection and use of your personal information will
be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site. That
privacy policy should identify the entity that is collecting your
personal information.
Collection of Personal Information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without
providing any personal information. In connection with other activities,
such as subscribing to the collaboration services offered on the
Site or utilizing online software applications, Youth Source may
ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling
out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for
you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these
activities, however, Youth Source may ask that you provide us personal
information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including
ZIP code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone
and facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When ordering
products or services on the Site, you may be asked to provide a
credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information
that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as
voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect
to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that
activity.
When you use the Site, Youth Source or third parties authorized
by Youth Source may also collect certain technical and routing information
about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services.
For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser
type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol ("IP")
address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to
facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services. Youth
Source also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic
patterns on the Site. Without expressly informing you in each particular
circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your
personal information.
When you submit personal information to Youth Source through this
Site, you understand and agree that this information may be transferred
across national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any
of the countries in which Youth Source and its affiliates and subsidiaries
maintain offices, including, without limitation, the United States.
You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to
certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage, and processing
of your information may be undertaken by trusted vendors of Youth
Source. Such vendors are bound by contract not to use your personal
information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties.
One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed
pages in which the URL for the pages is not visible and the pages
are being hosted by a vendor of Youth Source.
Youth Source has established relationships with various service
providers whose services are available to you from this Site or
from Web sites that are linked to this Site. Typically, these providers
offer services that Youth Source customers might find useful, such
as those that can be used in conjunction with Youth Source services
and products. In order to use those services, you may be required
to provide personal information to the providers. Unless expressly
provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide
while you are visiting a provider's Web site will be subject to
the privacy policy posted on such site, and personal information
that you provide while on this Site in conjunction with a provider's
service will be subject to this Privacy Policy. You should be aware
that our agreements with these service providers often provide that
they will share with Youth Source personal information collected
from you. In such instances, Youth Source may use this information
in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. In the situation
where sites have an Youth Source "look and feel," and
you reasonably believe you are on an Youth Source site, the site
is collecting information in a solely intermediary capacity and
does not use personal information for secondary purposes. How your
personal information is used Youth Source collects your information
in order to record and support your participation in the activities
you select. If you subscribe to a service or register a product,
for example, the information is used to register your rights, if
any, to technical support or other benefits that may be made available
to registered users. As another example, if you enter a contest,
information is collected to qualify the entry and contact you regarding
the contest or prize awards. Your personal information is also used
to keep you informed about product upgrades, special offers, and
other products and services of Youth Source and selected third parties
if you have so opted to receive such communications.
Youth Source may collect information about the use of the Site,
such as the types of services used and how many users we receive
daily. This information is collected in aggregate form, without
identifying any user individually. Youth Source may use this aggregate,
non-identifying statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing,
or similar promotional purposes.
Your Choices with Respect to Personal
Information
Youth Source recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible
use of information collected on this Site. Without your consent,
Youth Source will not communicate any information to you regarding
products, services, and special offers available from Youth Source,
although we may find it necessary to communicate with you regarding
your use of the services on this Site. Except in the particular
circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, Youth Source will
also not provide your name to other companies or organizations without
your consent.
There are other instances in which Youth Source may divulge your
personal information. Youth Source may provide your personal information
if necessary, in Youth Source's good faith judgment, to comply with
laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body or in response
to a valid subpoena, warrant, or order or to protect the rights
of Youth Source or others.
Protection of Your Personal information
Please note that any information you post to a public bulletin board
or chat room, such as the Youth Source Boars (the "Boards"),
is available to all persons accessing that location. Your e-mail
address will not automatically be posted on the Boards unless you
modify the default setting to permit that. Your e-mail address would
then be available to all persons accessing the Boards. In addition,
you should be aware that the Boards offers a service in which subscribers
are e-mailed a copy of all messages posted to the Boards on a particular
topic. Consequently, if you post a message to the Boards, your e-mail
address will be sent to those subscribers that have indicated an
interest in the topic of your message.

When you visit this Site, you can browse the Site and access important
information without revealing your identity. In order to improve
our Site, we use "cookies" to track your visit. A cookie
is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by

While Youth Source uses cookies to track your visit to Youth Source.com,
and our Web servers automatically log the IP/Internet address of
your computer, Youth Source does not generally use this information
to identify you personally. However, if you expressly provide consent
for YouthSource.com to "remember" the unique identifier
that you select when you register for various activities on the
site, that unique identifier will be stored on a cookie on your
computer, linked to your registration information, and your navigation
path around the site will be tracked. We associate this data to
understand how our site and services are being used so we can understand
our customers and offer appropriate products and services.

that your most recent privacy preference will be honored.
