Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these principles:
Microflare Inc. (“MICROFLARE”) operates the website YOUNIVERSUS.com. It is MICROFLARE’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, MICROFLARE collects non-personally-identifying
information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available,
such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date
and time of each visitor request. MICROFLARE’s purpose in collecting
non-personally identifying information is to better understand how YOUNIVERSUS.com visitors
use its website. From time to time, MICROFLARE may release non-personally-identifying
information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the
usage of its website.
MICROFLARE also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. MICROFLARE does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to MICROFLARE’s websites choose to interact with MICROFLARE
in ways that require MICROFLARE to gather personally-identifying information.
The amount and type of information that MICROFLARE gathers depends on the
nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a profile
at
YOUNIVERSUS.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, MICROFLARE
collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill
the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with MICROFLARE. MICROFLARE
does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described
below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information,
with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related
activities.
Aggregated Statistics
MICROFLARE may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites.
For instance, MICROFLARE may monitor the most popular competitions on the
YOUNIVERSUS.com site. MICROFLARE may display this information publicly or
provide it to others.
However, MICROFLARE does not disclose personally-identifying information other
than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
MICROFLARE discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying
information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations
that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on MICROFLARE’s
behalf or to provide services available at MICROFLARE’s websites, and
(ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees,
contractors
and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by
using MICROFLARE’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information
to them. MICROFLARE will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying
and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees,
contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, MICROFLARE discloses
potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only
when required to do so by law, or when MICROFLARE believes in good faith that
disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of MICROFLARE,
third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a MICROFLARE
website and have supplied your email address, MICROFLARE may occasionally
send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or
just keep
you up to date with what’s going on with MICROFLARE and our products.
We primarily use our website to communicate this type of information, so we
expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for
example
via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the
right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request
or to help
us support other users. MICROFLARE takes all measures reasonably necessary
to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction
of potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s
computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each

and
track visitors, their usage of YOUNIVERSUS.com website, and their website access
preferences. YOUNIVERSUS.com visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed
on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using
MICROFLARE’s websites,
with the drawback that certain features of MICROFLARE’s websites may
not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, MICROFLARE may change its Privacy
Policy from time to time, and in MICROFLARE’s sole discretion. MICROFLARE
encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy
Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy
will constitute your acceptance of such change.
