We do not solicit, collect or keep any personal identifiable information online from you unless you volunteer it and you are 13 or older. Furthermore, we do not solicit, collect or keep personal identifiable information online from children under the age of 13 without their parent's consent except in limited circumstances authorized by law and described in this Privacy Policy. Please review the entire Privacy Policy below and familiarize yourself with our website policies. The servers that make this site available to you are located in the United States. By using this site you agree to the transfer, collection, processing and use of data by this site.


Use of this website signifies your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions.


PARENTS and GUARDIANS:

In our supremejustye.com website Ryze N’ Shyne uses reasonable efforts to abide by and follow the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). Parents, it is important that you spend time with your children to determine and monitor the appropriateness of the websites your child visits. Please also instruct your child to never provide personal information about themselves, their family or others on this site or any other site without your permission.


A CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF 13 MUST GET PARENTAL OR GUARDIAN CONSENT BEFORE GIVING OUT EMAIL ADDRESSES OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO RYZE N’ SHYNE. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18, PLEASE READ THIS POLICY WITH YOUR PARENTS. ASK YOUR PARENTS QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY WORDS AND CONCEPTS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.


Ryze N’ Shyne, LLP want you and your children’s experience with our website to be a fun, positive, learning experience. We urge you to instruct your children to follow common sense, family rules, and precautions whenever disclosing personal information on this site or, for that matter, anywhere on the Internet.


QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS EXPLAINING OUR PRIVACY POLICY:

If I am over 18 or my child is 13 or over, does Ryze N’ Shyne collect personal information about either of us?

Ryze N’ Shyne never requires anyone on the Supreme Justyce™ website to share any personal information about themselves in order to use the site. You can visit our site without registering with us. Nevertheless, our site contains special sections and privileges for members that register. If you do not wish to register, we do not collect any personal information from you or your child unless it is voluntarily provided, for instance when creating a story, signing a guest book, posting to the blog or completing an online quiz.

When registering or when specifically asked for personal information, we generally ask for first and last name, mailing address, phone number, an email address and sometimes age. See below for how we may use this information.


If my child is under 13, does Ryze N’ Shyne collect any personal information about him or her?

We do not collect personal information online from children under 13 without first obtaining their parent's consent except in special, limited circumstances. If your child is under 13 and wants to use portions of our site with special activities that require registration or require us to obtain personal information, such as posting to the blog, entering a contest, or to claim a prize we might ask your child to "register." A child can often register anonymously by just providing a user name (any "screenname" will do) and perhaps a password. When we ask your child for a first name, we encourage you to have your child enter a "screenname" (a made up name or nick name). Sometimes we may request a first name, state that the child lives in and age, for example when writing a story. Other times we will require your child's first name, last name, home and email address and age; such personal information will only be requested after obtaining your verifiable consent. Only after receiving your consent, we may collect personal information from your child such as a last name, address, email address and age when the information is necessary for a particular activity such as entering a contest so that the child and parent can be informed of winning. If we need more than just your child's first name (or screenname), age and state of residence for your child to participate in a particular online activity, such as if your child signs up for the Supreme Justyce™ blog, we will ask your child for your email address so that we can notify you and get your permission. When we ask for your permission, we will tell you what we will do with the information you or your child provides us, and we will tell you how you can review your child's information and ask us to delete the information. We don't keep your (or your child's) email address any longer than is needed.

Ryze N’ Shyne™ might collect an email address and first name (or screenname) from your child under 13 without your consent, but only in the following special case.


If a child under 13 sends a request to us, then we may keep their email address long enough to respond to them.

Ryze N’ Shyne deletes this information from our system soon after we answer their question or request.

Upon proper identification, parents may review the personal information we have collected about their child, request deletion, or refuse to allow further collection or use by writing to us at RyzeNShyne@supremejustyce.com. However, if you ask us to delete your child's information, we will not be able allow your child to participate in the portions of the Supreme Justyce™ site that require registration or contain special activities or privileges.


What does Ryze N’ Shyne do with collected information?

Ryze N’ Shyne uses the personal information we collect for the purposes indicated at the time you or your teenager or child (with your consent) provides such information. For instance, if you Create a Story, we may use the information provided to post the story on our website and designate the first name (screenname), age and state of the person who wrote the story. Or, if you register in a contest, we will use the registration information to notify contest winners. Infrequently, and only after receiving consent prior to asking for information, we might email or mail you or your teenager or your child to provide information on upcoming Supreme Justyce™ products, website updates and promotions. If, at any time, you want to stop receiving such updates and product information from Ryze N’ Shyne, just e-mail us at CustomerSupport@Supremejustyce.com. Our mailings and emails will also include information or a link allowing you to ask to opt out of receiving such information in the future.


Occasionally we may ask your child what they like or do not like about the characters, the site, the games, etc. We do this to provide to your children more of what they want collectively.

Furthermore, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may disclose collected information to a law enforcement agencies or other public agency's (including schools or children services) request or if we feel that such disclosure may prevent the instigation of a crime, facilitate an investigation related to public safety or protect the safety of a child using our web site, protect the integrity or security of our website, or enable us to take precautions against liability.
