parties who received your personally identifiable information during the

Collection and Use of Demographic Information and Aggregate Data
Owner gathers non-personally identifiable information through the use of some
or all of the following processes:
Cookies: Owner utilizes cookies to properly route Website users,
customize users experience and to track user behavior in order to determine
appropriate marketing offers to target toward users. Cookies, by themselves, do
not collect personally identifiable information. Owner provides links to
advertiser and partner websites. These sites may choose to use cookies to
better promote their products and services. To learn more about cookies,
including how to disable them, please visit www.cookiecentral.com. Please be
advised that certain areas of our Website can be accessed only in conjunction
with cookies or similar devices and if you choose to disable cookies or similar
devices, this might prevent you from accessing some of our content.
Usage Tracking: Owner tracks information related to the electronic
mailings and web pages viewed by users, as well as the hyperlinks clicked by
users while viewing our emails and the pages on our Website.
Log Files: Log files are used to track and monitor user activity on
the Website.
Beacons: OwnerÕs mailings contain web beacons, or a piece of computer
programming code that is used to associate a user's interaction with our
mailings, in order to tailor future campaigns to the userÕs preferences. A web
beacon is a small image that, when loaded, updates our database records. For
example, if you receive an email about bowling and open that message, the
database will be updated via the web beacon to indicate your interest in future
bowling promotions.
Owner also creates reports on user demographics and usage patterns for our
partners. This information allows our advertisers to market more effectively,
and allows our users to receive advertisements that are more pertinent to their
interests.
Owner reserves the right to provide aggregate or group data about our users for
lawful purposes. Aggregate or group data is data that describes the
demographics, usage or characteristics of our participants as a group.
Minors
Users under eighteen (18) years of age are not allowed to use the Website, or
sign-up for any Services and/or Sweepstakes. No information should be submitted
to, or posted at, the Website by visitors under eighteen (18) years of age
without the consent of their parent or guardian. We encourage parents and
guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and
monitor the interactive activities of their children.
Third Party Entities
Owner
does not endorse, nor is Owner responsible for the accuracy of, the privacy
policies, terms and conditions, content and/or practices of any of the
advertisers, third party sellers or external websites linked to and/or featured
on the Website. The entities that advertise and place banner ads on the Website
are independent third parties and are not affiliated with Owner. We encourage
all users to review the privacy policy of any website that they visit via the
Website, our emails or otherwise.
Opt-Out/Unsubscribe
Users may receive e-mail confirming their registration for applicable Services
and/or Sweepstakes, as well as promotional marketing of commercial products and
services. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us in the future, please
let us know by sending an email to the contact information listed further down
in this document. Users may also unsubscribe from receiving
our electronic mailings at any time by following the instructions contained
within such email messages, or by unsubscribing via the Website. OwnerÕs unsubscribe process impacts only the future delivery
of electronic mailings disseminated by Owner on its own behalf. Users that have
unsubscribed from receiving mailings from Owner may still receive electronic
mailings sent on behalf of third-parties and their
personal information may still be shared with third parties for use in offline
marketing. Owner users should also note that unsubscribing from our electronic
mailings will not automatically unsubscribe the user
from any third-party licenseesÕ email lists. If e-mail recipients wish to end
their e-mail subscription from a particular list, they need to follow the
instructions at the end of each e-mail message to unsubscribe from the
particular list. This allows the end-user the freedom to pick and choose which
subscriptions to maintain and which to discontinue.
Currently, Owner does not offer users a means by which to completely delete
personal information from our databases. Instead, subscription status can be
set to "unsubscribed" to suppress inclusion from future Owner
electronic mailings.
Security
All collected information is stored in a technically and physically secure
environment. When our registration/application process asks users to enter
sensitive information (such as Social Security Number and bank account
information), and when we store and transmit such sensitive information, that
information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. While
we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user information off-line. Unfortunately, no
data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a
result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure
or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do
so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we employ reasonable
efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Access to this information is
strictly limited, and not accessible to the public. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job are granted access to personal information. Our employees are dedicated to
ensuring the security and privacy of all user information. Employees not
adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. In compliance
with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any applicable
regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security
breach with respect to your personal information. You will be notified via
e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be
delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope
of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures. If you have any
questions about security on our Website, you can email us at the contact
information listed below.
