APPLICABILITY AND USER RESTRICTIONS
Unless specifically stated otherwise, this Privacy Policy applies to information
collected on the Company Sites, which also may be governed by separate or
additional policies and does not apply to information about you collected by our
affiliated providers, third party web sites (e.g., ad serving and tracking
services) or offerings linked to or otherwise accessible from the Company Sites.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
Whether you are a Company Site visitor or a registered member, we take certain
steps to protect your information. Collection of information is usually grouped
into two categories: Personal Information, which is information identifiable to
a specific member (further defined below), and aggregate information, which is
general demographic information that does not identify any individual member. We
may use or disclose aggregate information for any purpose.
User Content
Please note that whenever you publicly disclose information about yourself
online (e.g., through email, in forums, message boards, chat areas, or similar
web pages), such information can be collected and used by people that you do not
know. Posting personal information in public places may result in unsolicited
communications, including unwanted email messages. Always be smart about the
information you provide online. We bear no responsibility for any action or
policies of any third parties who collect any information you may disclose on
the Company Sites.

online about an individual, such as a first and last name, a physical street
address, an e-mail address, a telephone number, a social security number, or any
other information that permits the physical or online contacting of a specific
individual.
You can browse the Company Sites without telling us who you are or
revealing any Personal Information about yourself. However, there are certain
features and services (including social networking) that may not be available
for your use without providing Personal Information. If you choose to provide us

statistical analyses, data processing), or with outside contractors, agents or
sponsors who help us with the administration, judging and prize fulfillment
aspects of contests, promotions and sweepstakes. Such outside contractors,
agents or sponsors may temporarily store some information on their servers, but
they may only use your Personal Information to provide the Company Sites with a
specific service and not for any other purpose.
We may also provide your
Personal Information to a third party where you have chosen to receive certain
information and have been notified that the fulfillment of such a request
requires sharing your Personal Information. We also may share your Personal
