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.
