The parent or guardian must validate the contact as described in the e-mail, in order for the potential member to use most of Rock Run Kennels interactive services.

Use of IP Address
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve up" Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
Rock Run Kennels collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When guests request pages from Rock Run Kennels sites, our servers log the guests' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
Use of Cookies
What are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at our site. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard -- you'll find them at most major Web sites.
By showing how and when guests use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies.

Information from cookies is sometimes attached to messages sent from online forms.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of Rock Run Kennels service will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies.

Links to Other Sites
Users should be aware that when you are on Rock Run Kennels site, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from Rock Run Kennels pages that take you outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement, the "click" sometimes takes you off Rock Run Kennels site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use Rock Run Kennels logo/name as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online --- for example, via message boards or chat --- that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While Rock Run Kennels strives to protect its user's personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk.
Rock Run Kennels policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond Rock Run Kennels control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.
