How the Company Uses Information

• Please note that any personal information or content you voluntarily disclose online, such as on discussion boards, message postings, chat areas, or your public profile page, becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others.

• We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send commercial or marketing messages without your consent, except as part of a specific program or feature for which you can choose to opt-in or opt-out. However, we may use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes, such as notifying you of major Website changes or for customer service purposes.
• Both your personally identifiable information and certain non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) are used to improve the quality and design of the Websites. This information is also used to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing User preferences and trends.
• We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you don’t have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Websites; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) track aggregate metrics such as the total number of visitors and pages viewed; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and contests.

The advertiser may also use information about your usage of the Websites, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (excluding any personally identifiable information), to determine which ads are most suitable for you.

For more information on the practices of these third-party ad servers or ad networks and instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices, please refer to their respective privacy policies (see links below).
