We reserve the right, but have no obligation to, disclose your Information if we suspect or have reason to suspect that your Information pertains to a party who may be a victim of abuse in any form.

However, all third parties with access to your Information will comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy and other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
Security. All Information you provide is electronically transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, according to cryptology best practices. SSL is a proven coding system that allows your browser to automatically encrypt (scramble) data before it is sent. We protect your account information by placing it on a secure portion of the YADA website that is only accessible by YADA website administrators. And we follow industry best practices, including user authentication mechanisms, to prevent data leakage and resist certain hacking techniques. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of your Information.
Updating your Information and Preferences. Yada Leaders can update their profiles through their Leader Dashboard. Users may update or delete their YADA accounts or update their mailing preferences by contacting our support team at info@yada.com. We will strive to quickly and efficiently update or delete your Information at your request—unless we have a legitimate business or legal reason to keep that information or unless requests require disproportionate technical effort, risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical. Before acting on your request to update or delete your Information, we may ask you to verify your identity.
Contacting YADA. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, our practices, or your experience with the YADA website or Services, you can contact us via email at info@yada.com (include Privacy Policy as your subject line).
