disclose to you what information we may collect, how we may collect it, with
whom we may share it, and certain other matters related to such information,
including the choices you have regarding our collection of information and our
use and disclosure to other parties of information we may have collected from
you.
TYPES OF INFORMATION THAT MAY BE COLLECTED
The following are the types of information we may
collect:

as your user ID and password, name, email address, telephone number, physical
address, birth date, gender or zip code or other information may be collected
via the Site.
Site Usage Information
We may receive and store certain types of information
whenever you visit the Site. For example, we may collect click-stream data and
your IP address.
Email Communications
When you open emails from the Site, we may receive
a confirmation noting you opened an email from us, if your computer supports
such capabilities. We also may keep track of what emails we send you and what
emails you may be receiving from us and our subsidiaries and affiliates. Additionally,
we keep a record of what types of emails you have opted to and not to receive.

HOW INFORMATION MAY BE COLLECTED
We may collect information from you in several
different areas on the Site, including but not limited to those described below:
Registration
You may be asked first to complete a registration
form and provide personally identifiable information; you may also be asked
to choose a user ID and password in order to take advantage of certain features
the Site may choose to offer, including, but not limited to, Newsletters, Contests,
Forums, Fantasy or other subscription-based services.
Newsletters and Site Emails
We may offer free newsletters to share information
with you about the Site, about us and our affiliates and subsidiaries, or about
our business partners and advertisers and sponsors. You may receive a newsletter
either by registering for a particular newsletter or in conjunction with a special

your free email subscription by following the instructions provided on the Site
or, in some instances, in the designated area of certain newsletters or emails.
Contests or Sweepstakes
We may operate contests and sweepstakes through
the Site which may require registration. Your personally identifiable information
may be used to contact you for winner notification, prize delivery confirmation
or other related purposes. We may ask your permission to allow us to post publicly
some of your information on the Site, such as on a winners page, in the event
you win a contest or sweepstakes. We will not post your information without
your permission. In some instances, a third party advertiser or sponsor may
operate or host a contest or sweepstakes on the Site, and collect your information.
In those cases, where we are not the operator or host of the contest or sweepstakes,
we have no control over the information collected and accordingly urge you to
review the advertiser’s or sponsor’s privacy policy applicable to the contest
or sweepstakes before participating.

information from you via surveys or voting polls. Participation is voluntary
and you will have the opportunity to decide whether or not to disclose information.
At times, you may have to register to vote or to take part in a survey.
Cookies
As with many Websites, the Site uses standard technology
called "cookies," which are small data files that are transferred
to your computer when you allow your browser to accept cookies. Cookies automatically
identify your Web browser to the Site whenever you visit the Site, and make
using the Site easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences.
By tracking how and when you use the Site, cookies help us determine which areas
are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Site are
based on data obtained from cookies. Accepting cookies allows you, among other
things, to personalize your experience on the Site. Cookies may also allow the
Site to present to you advertising which may be of interest to you. If you do
not want information collected through the use of cookies, you generally can
opt out of providing this information by turning the cookies off in your browser;
however, some areas of the Site may not provide you with a personalized experience
if you have disabled the use of cookies.
IP Addresses and Click-stream Data
We may collect IP addresses and/or click-stream
data for purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information
to our advertisers and sponsors. An IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. Our computers identify
your computer by its IP address. When you request Web pages from the Site, our
computers log your IP address. Click-stream data is information collected by
our computers when you request Web pages from the Site. Click-stream data may
include such information as the page served, the time, the source of the request,
the type of browser making the request, the preceding page view and other such
non-personal information. When analyzed, this data helps us analyze how visitors
arrive at the Site, what type of content is most popular, what type of visitors
in the aggregate are interested in particular kinds of content and advertising,
and the like.
Transaction Information
If you order any information from our Site, buy
any of our products or subscribe for any of the services offered on our Site,
we will ask you to complete an order form that will request certain information
from you, including financial information such as a credit card number and expiration
date and general contact, billing and shipping information. We will use this

the information, products or other services that you order, and to invoice you.
Such information is collected and stored through encrypted means for your protection.

WITH WHOM THE INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED
At times, we may share your personally identifiable

We employ other businesses, certain services and individuals to perform functions
on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, sending e-mail, removing
repetitive information from customer lists, Site analysis, analyzing data, providing
marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer
service. These entities have access to personally identifiable information needed
to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Promotional Offers:
We may send offers by email to you on behalf of other partners. When we do this,
we do not give that partner your name and address. If you do not want to receive

Throughout the Site you may be presented with opportunities to receive special
offers from third parties. An opt-in/opt-out message will ask you if you would

shared, in an effort to protect you, third parties who have access to personally
identifiable information must abide by the current Site privacy policy. However,
we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other companies, and
you should review the privacy practices of such Web sites prior to providing
your personally identifiable information.
Partners Subsidiaries and Affiliates: We
may share your information (including, without limitation, personally identifiable
information) with subsidiaries and affiliates of PROVIDERS.
Business Transfers:
The Site or a PROVIDER may be sold along with its assets, or other transactions
may occur in which your personally identifiable information is one of the business
assets transferred. In such a case, your personally identifiable information,
which we have gathered, may be one of the business assets we transfer.
Legal Process:
In the event we are required to respond to subpoenas, court orders or other
legal process your personally identifiable information may be disclosed pursuant
to such subpoena, court order or legal process, which may be without notice
to you.
Chat Rooms, Forums, and Message Boards
The Site may make chat rooms, forums and message
boards available to its users. While you are required to register with the site
for access to these areas, you are not required to provide any personal information
when using these areas but you may choose to do so. If you post personal information
online, it will be publicly available and you may receive unsolicited messages
from other parties. The PROVIDERS cannot ensure the security of any information
you choose to make public in a chat room, forum, or message board. Also, we
cannot ensure that parties who have access to such publicly available information
will respect your privacy. Please exercise caution when deciding to disclose
personal information in these areas.

sponsors and others that may use the Site’s logo as part of a cobranding agreement.
These other Web sites may send their own cookies to you, independently
collect data or solicit personal information and may or may not have their own
published privacy policies. If you visit a Website that is linked to our Site,
you should consult that site’s privacy policy before providing any personal
information.

our computers utilizing encryption software. Only those employees who need access
to your information in order to do their jobs are allowed access. Our security
policies are reviewed periodically and revised as required.
