Your World News knows that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the Your World News website, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers Your World News’ treatment of personal information that Your World News gathers when you are on the Your World News website and when you use Your World News services.

This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Your World News does not own or control, or to individuals that Your World News does not employ or manage.

What Personal Information About Users Does Your World News Collect?

Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a friendly, customized, and efficient experience. We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our website. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by you. We collect the following types of information from our users:

1. Information You Provide to Us:
   We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features. The personal information you provide is used for such purposes as:
• Registration: In order for you to use Your World News services, such as submitting new links to the website, you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we require your e-mail address.
• Payment: If you elect to purchase a Classified Ad or other forms of advertising from us, we will require sufficient information to receive payment for the purchase. This will be collected through a secure transaction with a third-party provider, and credit card data is not maintained at any site under the control of Your World News.
2. Automatic Information:
• We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Your World News automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, Your World News cookie information, and the page you requested. Your World News uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website.
• Your World News may also add on any page display the total counts that page has been viewed.
• Social sharing of data: Your World News may allow other users to browse stories that you have reviewed. Among other places, this would be retained as part of your review. You also have the ability to bookmark stories, and to share those bookmarks with others.
• Syndication: Your World News may allow for the RSS syndication of all of its public content within the website.
• API: Your World News will allow 3rd parties access to all Your World News data that is already publicly available through yourworldnews.frayernet.com. Your World News will make every effort to keep private passwords and blog settings.
• Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While Your World News will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.

What About Cookies?

• Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. Your World News’ cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or e-mail address is.
• The "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of Your World News' most attractive features.
• Some of our business partners may use cookies on our website (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Will Your World News Share Any of the Information it Receives?

Information about our users is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone. We share your personal information only as described below.

• Business Transfers:
  In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Your World News, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred. Please note that this is not the same as renting mailing lists.
• Protection of Your World News and Others:
  We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with that law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Your World News, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
• With Your Consent:
  Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your personal information may be shared with third parties or used for a purpose incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, and you will be able to prevent the sharing of this information by opting out.

Is Information About Me Secure?

• Your Your World News account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to work to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by logging off once you have finished using a shared computer.
• Only employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.
• Credit card transactions are performed through secure pages, and are processed by third-party companies retained specifically for that purpose. Your World News employees do not have access to your credit card information.

What Information Can I Access?

At present, we do not offer the ability for you to access or amend your personal information, once it has been created, except to request your password if you’ve forgotten it. If you wish to have your name or e-mail address modified, you may request this in an e-mail from the account on file to adjuster [at] frayernet.com. We may add the ability for you to modify your own information at a future date.

You also have the ability to add or remove bookmarks from a bookmark file you have marked as public.

What Choices Do I Have?

• As stated previously, you can always opt not to disclose information, but then you may be unable to use certain features on our website, such as posting new links.
• You are able to add or update certain information on pages, such as those listed in the "What Personal Information About Users Does Your World News Collect?" section above. When you update information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.
• As explained earlier, the "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. Please note, however, that if your browser does not accept cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of some of our attractive features.
• You may have your account closed at any time by sending a request from the e-mail account on file to adjuster [at] frayernet.com.

Can Children Use Your World News' Services?

You must be 13 years and older to register to use the Your World News website. Unless you are a business partner, such as an advertiser, we do not intentionally collect any identifying information beyond a login name, an e-mail address, and a password. As a result, Your World News does not specifically collect information about children.

Conditions of Use

If you decide to visit Your World News website, your visit and any possible dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of Florida state law.
